The newly elected MP from Kerala's Wayanad, Priyanka Gandhi, gave her first address in Parliament on Friday during the debate on the Constitution. Priyanka Gandhi's maiden speech in the House largely revolved around the Constitution, reservation and a push for a nationwide caste census. In the debate that marked the 75th anniversary of the Constitution's adoption, the first-time parliamentarian started off by invoking the father of the Constitution Babasaheb Ambedkar to highlight his contribution.
The Congress leader then sought to corner the BJP-led NDA government, saying the Constitution is a 'suraksha kavach (protective shield)' but the "ruling party has made all attempts to break it". Gandhi pointed to the reduced numbers of the BJP in Lok Sabha elections as forcing them to talk about the Constitution more often. Further she said, had the Lok Sabha elections not gone the way it did, BJP would have started working on changing the Constitution.
