In her 15-minute speech at the valedictory function of the Indian Youth Congress delegates convention today, she said, ``Many a challenge has been met and solved with the help of this Constitution.

She said, ``While people are dying of hunger, the BJP is more interested in doing things which are economically isolating the country. The Congress, on the other hand, had carefully maintained a compatibility with other nations. That was the reason why after the first atomic test, the country did not face any such isolation''.
