Calling the 2024 Lok Sabha election results "the biggest step to protect India's Constitution", Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said that the country has said it does not want Prime Minister Narendra Modi to "run the country". In a press conference in New Delhi, Gandhi said, "This was a fight to save the Constitution of the country and has emerged victorious in it. The country has said that they do not want Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Amit Shah to run the country." According to data from the Election Commission (EC), Gandhi was leading on both the seats he was fighting on, Wayanad and Rae Bareli.

With one seat, Surat already decided in NDA's kitty unopposed, votes for 542 seats will be counted today.
