Patna ( Bihar) [India], May 1 (ANI): In a scathing attack against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad on Tuesday said that one should not take seriously the former’s claims and allegations against Prime Minister Narendra Modi
“He says something every day. Who is this Rahul Gandhi? During Madhya Pradesh elections, he said Congress will form government in the state. We all know what happened,” Ravi Shankar Prasad told ANI.
“He made a similar statement during the Chhattisgarh elections, and during the last Lok Sabha elections also, what did he not say against Prime Minister Narendra Modi? People have given an answer every time. We should not take him seriously,” he added.
Earlier in the day, while addressing a public meeting in Chhattisgarh’s Bilaspur, Rahul Gandhi said that the BJP will attempt to rewrite the Constitution and do away with the reservation if the party comes to power again.
“These elections are not ordinary elections. There is a fight between ideologies. On one side, there is the Congress party, the INDIA bloc and on the other side, there is the BJP. And the people who knew politics…And there are crores of people in Hindustan who know that this election is about saving the Constitution.”
“The BJP leaders, Prime Minister ji (Narendra Modi) and people in the RSS want to rewrite the Constitution. “On one side, they are attempting to rewrite the Constitution, while on the other hand, the Congress party is striving to save the Constitution,” he said while holding a copy of the Constitution in one of his hands.
Elaborating on the importance of the Constitution, the former Congress President said, “This Constitution gives the poor their rights, protects them, looks after their future and secures their voice and way of life.”.
The opposition leaders have been accusing the BJP of doing away with the reservation and attempting to rewrite the Constitution. The BJP has denied all the charges.
However, Prime Minister Narendra Modi denied the accusation that BJP wants to change the Constitution. In election rallies, he said that even if Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, who headed the committee drafting the Constitution, were alive he could not change the Constitution.
The 2024 Lok Sabha election is scheduled to be conducted in seven phases of which two phases have been completed. The counting of the votes cast will be conducted on June 4. (ANI)
