Volunteers gathered at Mumbai's Azad Maidan and took a pledge to defend and save the constitution of India.

"The Constitution of India is under attack from the BJP and the fascist Modi-led central government. Every principle and every institution has been violated both in letter and spirit. There is an unprecedented wave of popular support across the spectrum, post Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal's illegal arrest. The tide is turning on the ground and the tipping point for the defeat of the Modi government is near. Modi's desperation is amply visible in his dog whistle utterances. This election is about saving the Constitution of India. The people of India, will give a befitting reply and end BJP's dictatorial rule in the upcoming elections.", said Ruben Mascarenhas, National Joint Secretary, AAP "Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar is a source of never-ending inspiration to fight against oppression. Arvind Kejriwal and the Aam Aadmi Party, will never allow the destruction of Dr Ambedkar's constitution.", said Dhanraj Vanjari, Mumbai Working President, AAP.
