'Congress itself altered the Constitution during Indira's regime', says Union minister Nitin Gadkari (Picture credit: ANI) PUNE: Union minister Nitin Gadkari slammed the Congress party over the " Constitution campaign " and accused the party of "altering" the Constitution during the Congress government under Prime Minister Indira Gandhi . Addressing an election rally in Pune's Wakad, Gadkari attacked the Congress party and alleged that only sloganeering statements were made of ' Garibi Hatao ,' and that the poor continue to suffer under the Congress rule. "During the Congress regime, various programs like the 8-point, 20-point, and 40-point initiatives were launched with the slogan 'Garibi Hatao,' but unfortunately, poverty persisted among farmers, labourers, dalits and muslims.
Despite the promises, only announcements were made, and the poor continued to suffer. However, our country's adoption of new economic policies has led to significant growth and development," he said. He accused Congress of propagating false information about the BJP amending the constitution and claimed that Congress altered the constitution during Indira Gandhi's administration when her election was pronounced invalid by the Allahabad Court.
"During the last Lok Sabha elections, the Congress party spread misinformation that the BJP would change the constitution if they won more than 400 seats. However, the constitution is a solid foundation of India's democracy and no one dares to change it. The BJP'.
