Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday claimed that the opposition I-N-D-I-A alliance represents 60 per cent of the country, more than the BJP does.

Addressing reporters in Aizawl, the capital of poll-bound Mizoram where he is visiting to campaign for party candidates, Gandhi said the opposition alliance will defend the "idea of India" by protecting its values, constitutional framework and freedom of people irrespective of religion or culture to express themselves and live in harmony.
