Controversy erupts over Arun Govil's statement on Constitution: Here is what he said
Arun Govil, BJP's Lok Sabha candidate from Meerut, discussing potential changes to the Constitution, has stirred controversy. Responding to allegations that the Modi government plans to alter the Constitution, Govil emphasized the evolution of the Constitution over time and the need for consensus for any changes.
A video has gone viral on social media in which he can be seen talking about the Constitution. Answering a question by a reporter on the opposition's allegation that the Modi government will change the Constitution after coming to power again at the Centre, Arun Govil said, «The Constitution has witnessed changes over a period of time. Change is a sign of development. It's not a bad thing. Situations were different at that time; the current situation is different, so if changes are to be made… The Constitution doesn't change with one person's intention. It can be changed with everybody's consensus. If anything happens...» he can be heard saying in the viral video.
This statement has prompted reactions from various political figures, including AAP leader Sanjay Singh, who accused the BJP of intending to undermine the Constitution.
Attacking BJP, AAP leader Sanjay Singh shared the video of Arun Govil saying: «The 85 per cent Dalits, backwards, deprived and exploited people of the country, beware. It is now clear that BJP will destroy the Constitution. The reservation will end. After Lallu Singh, Jyoti Mirdha, Anant Hegde, now even Arun Govil has said it. Arun Govil is directly Modi ji's candidate.»
