Narendra Modi on Wednesday slammed the Congress for its allegation that the Bharatiya Janata Party if it comes to power will change the country's constitution. The Prime Minister said that the development done in the last ten years was just an 'appetizer' and the main course would come in the third term and that his victory in the 2024 polls was a foregone conclusion if the opposition was raising doubts on the EVM.
«The opposition is claiming that the constitution would be changed if the BJP comes to power and there would be no elections if the BJP comes to power, this clearly shows that they have become bankrupt for issues because we are hearing this stale line since the time of Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Was democracy not under threat during the emergency. When a poor man's son like me becomes the Prime Minister, the Congress feels democracy is at stake,» said Modi while addressing a rally in Ramtek constituency in Nagpur.
Slamming the Congress further, Modi said that it was only the BJP government that respected the constitution. «If you (Cong) really liked the constitution then why for several years it was not applicable in Jammu and Kashmir. It was our government that gave the same constitution in Jammu and Kashmir. Earlier there was no reservation for the SC/ST's and women in the state were not getting their rights. The Congress gave Article 370 that fanned separatism and terrorism in Kashmir. They (Cong) are trying to fool the people of the country in the name of the constitution,» said the Prime Minister.
