New Delhi: Gandhi Scion and Congress president Rahul Gandhi will on Monday launch his party's countrywide 'Save the Constitution' campaign. This campaign is aiming to highlight alleged attacks on the Constitution and Dalits under the Modi-BJP-led government.

Marking the party's effort to reach out to the community ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, the campaign launch is likely to be attended by former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh, party general secretary Ghulam Nabi Azad, its senior leaders Mallikarjun Kharge, Sushil Kumar Shinde among others.

Congress's present and former Dalit politician, those holding offices in Zilla Parishad, civic bodies and panchayat samitis, the party's office-bearers attached to its regional units will also be present at the event.

The attendees of 'Save the Constitution' are expected to take the message forward, holding similar campaigns in states to reach out to the Dalit community.

As per the Congress, the Constitution is under threat in the BJP regime and the community is being denied opportunities in spheres of education and jobs.

 Worth mentioning here Dalits form about 17 percent of the country's body of voters. There are 84 parliamentary seats reserved for candidates who hail to the scheduled castes.

Saffron party BJP had bagged nearly half of the seats in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls with a shiny win in politically key states such as Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.
