Congress leader Rahul Gandhi urged voters in the two states to exercise their franchise to "save the Constitution" and avail the benefits of guarantees offered by the INDIA bloc.
In a post on social media platform X, Rahul Gandhi wrote, "Brothers and sisters of Maharashtra, I appeal to all of you to cast your vote today to protect the self-respect and constitution of the state. Every vote you give to Maha Vikas Aghadi will stop the theft of your jobs and projects, will ensure fair price to farmers for their crops and will bring prosperity to your life with 5 guarantees. #VoteForINDIA."
