New Delhi, January 26
India’s fate is determined by its every citizen, whether it is the ‘satyagrahi’ farmer, labourer, small and medium businessman, young job seeker or a housewife troubled by inflation, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said on Tuesday as he greeted people on Republic Day.
India is celebrating its 72nd Republic Day, the day its Constitution came into force in 1950.
“Every citizen of India determines the fate of the country, whether it is the ‘satyagrahi’ farmer-labourer or small-medium businessman, young job seeker or a housewife troubled by inflation,” Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi.
भारत का प्रत्येक नागरिक देश का भाग्य विधाता है चाहे वो सत्याग्रही किसान-मज़दूर हो या लघु-मध्यम व्यापारी, नौकरी तलाश करता युवा हो या महँगाई से परेशान गृहणी।
गणतंत्र आपसे है, गणतंत्र आपका है।

“The Republic is from you, the Republic belongs to you,” he said, extending best wishes to people on the occasion.
The Congress, on its official Twitter handle, said: “We shall never forget the struggles and sacrifices our brave hearts had to make to bring us freedom and our own Constitution. This Republic Day, let’s renew our sacred vow to uphold justice, liberty, equality and fraternity. Jai Hind!”
