CONGRESS leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday promised to abolish the Agnipath scheme if the INDIA bloc comes to power at the Centre. He also claimed that if the BJP returns to power at the Centre, it will throw away the Constitution which granted rights to the poor, Dalits, STs and the OBCs.

"I know that Bhind is that district of MP which gives maximum jawans to India's defence forces. But except Narendra Modi, no one else, even the defence forces, are supportive of the Agnipath Scheme," the former Congress president said while addressing his first rally of Lok Sabha polls in the Gwalior-Chambal region.
