Cong amended Constitution 80 times during its rule, says Gadkari; accuses Oppn of misleading people
Nitin Gadkari on Friday said the opposition parties were confusing people by claiming that the BJP will change the Constitution if it retains power, but it was in fact the Congress that had brought constitutional amendments 80 times during its rule. He also alleged that due to the wrong economic policies of the Congress, people of the country remained poor.
The Minister of Road Transport and Highways was addressing an election rally at Majalgaon town in Maharashtra's Beed district to drum up support for Pankaja Munde, Bharatiya Janata Party's Beed Lok Sabha seat candidate.
«Our opposition has failed to convince people. Therefore it is confusing them. They (opposition leaders) say we (BJP) will change the Constitution. But there is a Supreme Court judgment that says the Constitution cannot be changed and only amendments can be done. So far, the Congress has carried out amendments to the Constitution 80 times,» he said.
«We will not stop and continue our work till the last poor person is benefited. People remained poor in this country because of the wrong economic policies of the Congress. We worked for 10 years, but despite being in power for 60 years, the Congress did not do anything. So now, when they cannot contest elections by projecting their work, they are trying to confuse people,» Gadkari said.
