"This is a moral defeat of Narendra Modi. The mandate of the people is against PM Modi. The BJP has not got full majority," he



said.

Rahul Gandhi said that the Opposition fought against the BJP which had "captured" the institutions of the country including the judiciary.

"We fought this election not just against BJP but also the institutions, the governance structure of the country, the intelligence agencies CBI &EDI, judiciary because all these institutions were captured by Amit Shah & Narendra Modi ji," Rahul Gandhi said.

"The fight was to save the Constitution. I thank the alliance partners. You have taken the first step towards saving the Constitution," he said.
