"I want to assure the country that no culprit will be spared, complete justice will be done. Our daughters will definitely get justice," said PM Modi.

Amid sloganeering against the Modi-led BJP government, the Gandhi scion said the women of the country are afraid to go out today and the government must ensure their safety and help them live in peace.

Congress chief Rahul Gandhi organised a candlelight march at New Delhi's India Gate for justice in Kathua and Unnao rape cases on the intervening night of Thursday and Friday.

"How can anyone protect the culprits of such evil? What happened to the girl at Kathua is a crime against humanity. It cannot go unpunished," Gandhi said in a tweet.

The Congress president also posted a purported video in which the woman's father is seen speaking against the BJP MLA.  

The BJP has demanded an apology from Congress president Rahul Gandhi for compromising private data of laksh of Indians with UK-based firm Cambridge Analytica to manipulate elections.

The couple had earlier faced flak on account of a Dalit woman marrying a Kashmiri Muslim. But, shunning all inter-faith taboos, the two went on to solemnise their relationship.   

Speaking to reporters at Rajghat, where he led the Congress's nationwide fast, Gandhi said the grand old party will defeat the BJP-led NDA in the 2019 general election.

Tytler and Kumar were seen leaving the Mahatma Gandhi's memorial soon after their arrival for the Congress' anti-government protest, apparently after being told to leave with their alleged links to the 1984 anti-Sikh riots in Delhi continuing to haunt them.

BJP spokesperson Anil Baluni said Rahul Gandhi should not worry about Modi and should rather be concerned about his and Sonia Gandhi's electoral fate in 2019.   

Congress President Rahul Gandhi, along with other party leaders, are observing a day-long fast at Raj Ghat to expose BJP’s “lies” and to ‘protect communal harmony’.

Congress workers will hold a day-long fast at all state and district headquarters to protest against the BJP government and promote communal harmony and peace across the country.

Gandhi freely mingled with commuters in the Metro train as he travelled from the station at Vidhana Soudha, the state secretariat, to M G Road.

Pegging his confidence on opposition unity, Gandhi said far from the BJP winning the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, even Modi might lose from Varanasi if his party, the SP and the BSP were united against him.

The Congress president said, "the fact of the matter is between Mr Amit Shah and Mr Modi, they are convinced, there are only two human beings in this country. That's all, that's the reality."

The Congress had also alleged that the government has brought the aircraft at thrice the price that the UPA regime had negotiated with the French company.  

Amit Shah’s tweet comes a day after PM Modi accused the opposition parties of politicising the legacy of Dalit icon Dr BR Ambedkar. The prime minister went on to say that no government had honoured Ambedkar like his government did.

Congress president Rahul Gandhi today hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for "not uttering a word" on the alleged atrocities on Dalits and tribals and "dilution" of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.

On April 3, the Congress president would meet people at Bus Stand Chowk and address a public gathering in Shivamogga. He will then visit Honnalli, Harihara and Bathi towns in Davangere district.

Reacting to the development, the Congress party said it would keep raising voice against government's policies and its "failure" to check corruption.
