Rahul Gandhi, the Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition, will be heading to Bihar on Saturday to participate in the Samvidhan Suraksha Sammelan (Save the Constitution Conclave). The event aims to further his efforts to promote and safeguard the Indian Constitution, and will serve as a significant platform for Gandhi to reiterate his commitment to democratic values and constitutional rights. The conclave will gather political leaders, activists, and the public, and will focus on discussions surrounding the preservation of the Constitution in the face of political and social challenges.
After the event, Gandhi is expected to meet with Bihar Congress workers to discuss regional issues, party strategies, and strengthen the party’s presence in the state. This visit is seen as a part of his ongoing efforts to engage with grassroots Congress members and shore up support ahead of upcoming elections. The Samvidhan Suraksha Sammelan is likely to also be a key moment for Gandhi to build political momentum and connect with the electorate on important constitutional matters.
Rahul Gandhi and the Congress party have increasingly adopted the language of social justice in their political discourse, emphasizing key issues such as equitable representation for marginalized castes and communities and advocating for a nationwide caste census. These initiatives align with their broader strategy of addressing systemic inequalities and empowering underrepresented groups across India.
Gandhi has repeatedly highlighted the need for policies that reflect India’s diverse social fabric, arguing that equitable representation is essential for ensuring justice and development for all sections of society. The push for a caste census, in particular, is aimed at providing data-driven insights into the socio-economic conditions of various communities, which could help shape more targeted and inclusive policymaking.
This shift in focus has been evident in Congress’s recent campaigns, where the party has emphasized themes like reservation, representation, and the rights of backward classes. By championing social justice, the Congress aims to appeal to a broad coalition of voters, particularly those from marginalized backgrounds, and position itself as a party that prioritizes equality and fairness. Gandhi’s upcoming participation in events like the Samvidhan Suraksha Sammelan reflects this ongoing commitment to these goals.
AICC Secretary Chandan Yadav views the Congress party’s focus on caste as a “necessary to-do” in the context of Indian politics. He argues that caste profoundly influences people’s lives, dictating everything from marriage to occupation, social standing, and even residential segregation in villages. According to Yadav, addressing both caste diversity and caste discrimination is essential for a healthy democracy, as these issues remain deeply ingrained in Indian society.
Rahul Gandhi has been vocal about caste disparity, consistently highlighting the structural inequalities that perpetuate underrepresentation. He has frequently pointed out that while 90% of society remains marginalized, 10% enjoy a disproportionate share of benefits and opportunities. Speaking in Parliament last year, Gandhi underscored this disparity by revealing that only three of the 90 Central government secretaries were from OBC communities. Similarly, in August, he drew attention to the absence of SCs, STs, and OBCs in influential spaces like media, corporate leadership, and even beauty pageants.
Through this sustained focus on caste inequities, Gandhi and the Congress party aim to spark a larger national conversation on representation and fairness, positioning caste justice as a cornerstone of their political vision.
The RG Kar Case Verdict
The long-awaited verdict in the RG Kar rape and murder case is expected to be announced by a Sealdah court on Saturday. The case, which has drawn significant public and media attention, centers around the tragic rape and murder of a junior doctor, sparking widespread outrage and demands for justice.
The victim’s father, speaking to the media on Friday, expressed his unwavering determination to seek justice for his daughter. “We are ready to wait for five years for justice… We will not beg but we will fight, and if required, snatch justice,” he asserted, highlighting the family’s resilience amidst their grief.
The case has become emblematic of the struggle for accountability and justice in gender-based violence cases, with activists and citizens closely following the court’s decision.
The RG Kar Case Verdict
The verdict in the RG Kar rape and murder case, involving the tragic death of a junior doctor, is set to be delivered by a Sealdah court on Saturday. The case has remained in the public eye, symbolizing the ongoing struggle for justice in cases of gender-based violence.
Speaking to The Indian Express on Friday, the victim’s father expressed his firm resolve for justice. “Sanjoy (Roy, the prime accused) is a criminal. He will be punished, and whatever the court feels, that punishment will be given to him. We have gone to the High Court and Supreme Court for justice,” he said.
He criticized the initial handling of the case, stating, “For five months, there has been no proper investigation. The investigation was only for the first three days and then nothing happened. We had never asked for a CBI investigation, but the court had ordered a CBI probe.”
The family’s fight for justice underscores their determination to hold the perpetrators accountable, even amidst challenges. The verdict is expected to be a critical moment in their pursuit of closure and justice.
Nationwide Outrage Over the RG Kar Case
The RG Kar incident, which involved the rape and murder of a junior doctor, sparked nationwide outrage and prolonged protests, drawing attention to the need for justice and safety in public institutions.
Sanjay Roy, a civic volunteer with the city police, was charged with committing the crime at the state-run hospital in north Kolkata on August 9 last year. The brutal incident shocked the nation, leading to demands for stringent action and greater accountability in ensuring the safety of healthcare workers and individuals within public spaces.
The verdict, expected on Saturday, marks a crucial juncture in the case, as the victim’s family and the public await justice in what has become a symbol of the fight against gender-based violence and systemic failures.
RG Kar Case: Key Developments in the Investigation and Trial
The RG Kar rape and murder case has witnessed significant developments since the tragic incident on August 9 last year, when the body of a junior doctor was recovered from the seminar room of the state-run hospital in north Kolkata.
- Initial Investigation:
The Kolkata Police initially handled the investigation, arresting the accused, Sanjay Roy, on August 10, just a day after the victim’s body was discovered. Roy, a civic volunteer with the city police, was charged with the heinous crime, which caused nationwide outrage. - Case Transfer to CBI:
Due to public outcry and allegations of an inadequate probe, the Calcutta High Court transferred the investigation to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The agency took over the case and later sought the death penalty for Roy, reflecting the gravity of the crime. - Trial Proceedings:
The in-camera trial commenced on November 12, ensuring privacy for witnesses and sensitive evidence. Over the course of the trial, 50 witnesses were examined, shedding light on the case and strengthening the prosecution’s case against the accused. - Hearing Concluded:
The hearing in the trial concluded on January 9, and the Sealdah court is set to deliver its verdict. The case remains a poignant reminder of the need for swift and effective justice in crimes against women.
The verdict will be closely watched, not just for its implications for this specific case, but also for the broader message it sends regarding accountability and justice for victims of gender-based violence.
RG Kar Case: Victim’s Parents Seek Justice Beyond the Prime Accused
The RG Kar hospital rape and murder case continues to draw attention as the victim’s parents allege the involvement of others in the crime. They have filed an application in court seeking further investigation, expressing hope that all responsible parties will be arrested and tried.
- Political Protests and Reactions:
The gruesome crime prompted protests from opposition parties, including the BJP and CPI(M), demanding justice and highlighting concerns about safety in state-run hospitals. - Supreme Court Intervention:
The Supreme Court suo motu took up the case, forming a National Task Force (NTF) to recommend protocols for the safety of medical professionals across India. The NTF submitted its report to the court in November last year. - TMC Under Scrutiny:
The ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) initially faced allegations linking party cadre to the accused. However, the party defended its actions, emphasizing the prompt arrest of the accused within 36 hours by the Kolkata Police. - A TMC MP acknowledged the initial challenges but credited Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s “humane approach” for managing the situation effectively.
- TMC vice-president Jay Prakash Majumder reiterated that the state police’s swift action had vindicated the party and the government’s stance.
As the Sealdah court prepares to deliver its verdict, the victim’s family and the nation await justice, not just for closure but also for systemic reforms ensuring the safety of healthcare workers across the country.

Bansal stated that Naik’s appointment would be officially announced on Saturday, marking a new chapter for the BJP’s leadership in Goa.
