A day after he released a statement announcing that he was no longer the president of the Congress party, Rahul Gandhi reiterated his strong resolve to intensify his fight against the ruling BJP and its ideological parent RSS.

"This is a war of ideologies. Ladai jaari rahegi. Jaise pichle 5 saal lada hun na usse 10 guna zyada ladunga. (The fight will continue. I will fight 10 times harder than I did in the past five years)," he told reporters in Mumbai on Thursday. He was in city to appear before a court in connection with a defamation case filed by an RSS activist.
