NCP leader Praful Patel said, “Many countries have been democratic, their constitutions have been changed from time to time, but our Constitution, given to us by Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar, really changed the entire landscape of our country.” The Opposition accused the government of attacking the federal structure and undermining constitutional bodies with some members alleging that justice was being denied to ordinary citizens. Mukul Wasnik of the Congress said the references made to Jawaharlal Nehru in speeches made by ministers were full of “hatred” for India’s first Prime Minister.
