Rahul Gandhi reacts to BJP MP's ‘Constitution, 400 seats’ remarks: 'PM Modi's hidden agenda'

Hindustan Times  

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday reacted sparkly to Karnataka BJP MP Anantkumar Hegde's fresh statement purportedly saying that there is a need to rewrite the majority of the Indian Constitution. Six years since Anantkumar Hegde said the BJP would change the Constitution to do away with the word "secular" in its preamble, the BJP MP on Sunday reiterated it, exhorting the public to ensure two-thirds majority for the saffron party in Lok Sabha to amend the country's founding document, news agency PTI reported. “If the Constitution has to be amended -- the Congress fundamentally distorted the Constitution by forcefully filling unnecessary things in it, especially by bringing in laws that were aimed at suppressing the Hindu society -- if all of this has to be changed it is not possible with this majority,” PTI quoted him as saying "If we think it can be done as Congress is not there in Lok Sabha and Modi has two-thirds majority in Lok Sabha, and keep quiet, it is not possible," Hedge said. Hegde said NDA winning more than 400 seats in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls would eventually help in mustering a similar majority in the Rajya Sabha, and coming to power in two-third of the states.
