‘Not even read’: Rahul Gandhi’s new ‘Constitution’ attack on Prime Minister Modi | India News – Times of India
While addressing a public meeting in Gondia, Maharashtra, the Congress leader said the Bharatiya Janata Party and the RSS are working round the clock to dismantle the Constitution.
“I can guarantee that the Prime Minister (Modi) has not even read the Constitution of India. If he had read it, he would respect what is in this book. If there is democracy in India, it is because of this book. and this book exists because of BR Ambedkar, Mahatma Gandhi and Phule ji,” Rahul said.
“Narendra Modi and the RSS have been attacking this book for 24 hours. Does this book say that everyone should buy MLAs to topple the Maharashtra government?” he added.
This comes days after Prime Minister Modi criticized the Congress for allegedly presenting blank copies of the Constitution during election campaigns in Maharashtra.
In a veiled reference to the red-clad Constitution that Gandhi carries to his rallies, Prime Minister Modi said: “They are now showing a red book in the name of the Constitution.”
“The cover says ‘Constitution of India’, but the inside is blank. This shows their hatred towards Babasaheb. Printing a red book before the elections and removing the words of the Constitution is an example of Congress’s mentality to end the Constitution,” he added. .
The Maharashtra Assembly Elections will take place on November 20, with the counting of votes for all 288 constituencies taking place on November 23.
In the 2019 Maharashtra Assembly elections, the BJP won 105 seats, Shiv Sena 56 and Congress 44. In 2014, the BJP won 122 seats, Shiv Sena 63 and Congress 42.
