OPINION: MODI WILL NEVER CHANGE CONSTITUTION

India TV News  

In his election rallies in Bihar and West Bengal on Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi hit out at the opposition for launching a smear campaign against him on the issue of the Constitution. He said, “Those who abuse Sanatan Dharma should listen carefully…80 to 90 per cent of the members in the Constituent Assembly who made the Constitution were Sanatanis, and those Sanatani members supported Babasaheb Ambedkar in the drafting of a great Constitution.” Modi said, the Constitution is the ‘raksha kavach’ for the rights of backward castes, Dalits and Adivasis, and it is the guiding force for our nation’s progress. Modi raised the Constitution issue because opposition leaders like Rahul Gandhi, Tejashwi Yadav, Mamata Banerjee, Akhilesh Yadav and Asaduddin Owaisi have been harping on this issue in their meetings. Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray and Samajwadi Party leader Ramgopal Yadav also alleged that Modi is aiming at winning 400 seats only because he wants to change the Constitution. RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav countered by challenging Modi to take action against those BJP leaders who have been openly saying that the Constitution will be changed if BJP wins 400 seats.
