The Constitution is helping people to a lesser extent than the country’s founding fathers would have expected, and thus, is a success as well as a failure, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said Friday in Lucknow.

He also admitted that some “mistakes” were made by the Congress, adding that his party would have to change its politics in the times to come.

“Congress will also have to change its politics in the times to come. The Congress has also made mistakes,” he said.

He also spoke about reservation, the caste system as well as alleged “attacks” on the Constitution. Rahul said that the future of a large number of people in the country is decided even before birth. People are put into small segments, which decides for which work they are capable of and which work they cannot do, said Rahul.

“Crores of people of Hindustan have lived this life… where they have not decided their future but instead, society has done it for them. How much capability has been lost in this?” said Rahul, adding that many people stood up to change this, while accepting this reality.

However, Rahul pointed out, those running after power in politics for their entire lives “do not accept this reality, they never accept their own reality nor of others.”
