Advocates Bank must be set up in every constitution to protect voters’ rights: DCM

Must work hard to bring Congress party to power and Rahul Gandhi as PM in 2029

Bengaluru Express
New Delhi, Aug 3: Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar called for setting up Advocate banks in every constituency to protect the rights of voters.

“We have to protect the Constitution as per the guidance of Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge. Advocate banks would go a long way in protecting the rights of voters and party workers,” he said while speaking at a conference on ‘Constitutional Challenges: Pathways and Perspectives” organised by an AICC wing.

“Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge have sent out a clear message to the country that the Constitution and Democracy must be protected. We are following the ideals of Nehru, Ambedkar, Gandhi, Azad, Indira Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi. A day will come when we have to stand in the fire to protect the country, let’s do that from today itself,” he said.

“Congress’ history is country’s history and Congress’ power is country’s power. It was Gandhi family and the Congress party which united the country, else the country would have been divided into many parts,” he said.

“Abhishek Dutt introduced me as a youth but I am 63 years old now. It was Rajiv Gandhi who game me the ticket to contest elections when I was in the final year of my degree. When I was in Tihar jail, it was Abhishek Manu Singhvi, Kapil Sibal and Rohatgi who fought the legal battle for me. Sonia Gandhi came to meet me when I was in the jail. She had to visit Tihar jail to save a party worker. She later appointed me as the KPCC president. After three years toil and hard work, we brought the party to power in Karnataka,” he reminisced.

We have to work towards making Rahul Gandhi PM in 2029

“If we dedicate our mind, body and soul from today, we can bring Congress party back to power in 2029 and we can make Rahul Gandhi the prime minister. We have to come back to power to protect democracy and the Constitution,” he said.

Can’t forget Gandhi family sacrifice
“If there is any one who has sacrificed their life for the nation, it is Gandhi family. When Abdul Kalam invited Sonia Gandhi to swear in as the PM, she appointed Manmohan Singh instead. When it is difficult to find examples of people declining small posts, she sacrificed the PM’s post. Who else has done such a great sacrifice?” he said.

We have won wherever Rahul Gandhi carried out Bharat Jodo yatra

“Rahul Gandhi walked from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, of which he walked for 24 days in Karnataka. Congress party won all the constituencies where he walked. It is the power of Rahul Gandhi. As per his guidelines, we need to set up Legal wing in every constituency and review voters list in every booth. Then only Congress party can come to power,” he said.
