Union minister Nitin Gadkari has said it was the Congress which “distorted” the Constitution for self-interest and was now putting the blame on the BJP.
The BJP will neither change Dr B R Ambedkar’s Constitution nor allow anyone to do so, Gadkari asserted on Monday while addressing a rally for BJP candidate Charansingh Thakur in Katol.
He slammed the Congress for claiming the BJP will change the country’s Constitution.
The Maharashtra assembly polls will be held on November 20 and votes will be counted November 23.
“We will not change Babasaheb Ambedkar’s Constitution nor will we allow anyone to do so. The basic structure of the Constitution cannot be changed,” Gadkari said.
The senior BJP leader also cited the Supreme Court judgment in the landmark Kesavananda Bharti case to buttress his point.
