Addressing a big rally at the Ramlila grounds here, Gandhi also shared widespread concerns over corruption, saying it was like a cancer mostly affecting the poor.
She said the UPA government would intensify its efforts to effectively deal with corruption.
Without naming the BJP, the Congress President said some political parties were yet to accept and digest the simple fact that the people had elected the UPA to power in 2004 and 2009.
"These parties want to weaken the government you had elected. They repeatedly put obstacles in the functioning of Parliament. Why do they do so? The answer is straight forward -- these people do not want various public welfare measures to be passed by Parliament," an unusually combative Gandhi said.
She said the opposition parties do not want to discuss important issues facing the country as they are themselves entangled into it.
Gandhi said the opposition was shying away from debate in Parliament as it would expose their double standards.
"I want to make it very clear, they are trying to weaken the very foundation of our democracy," she said.
Gandhi said the Congress party, which has laid the foundation of democracy in the country, would never allow the opposition intention to bear fruit.
"Congress has never allowed such forces to play around with the Constitution in Parliament and will never allow it in the future," she said. (MORE)
