'Work done in recent times to strengthen Constitution, was never done before': Rajya Sabha's DY Chairman
Rajya Sabha Harivansh on Saturday dispelled the opposition allegation that the BJP-led government would change the constitution if voted to power saying that the amount of work done in the last ten years to strengthen the constitution had never been done before.
«Gandhi had said a person's work speaks for him… It is doubtful that the amount of work to strengthen the Constitution that has been done in this time was ever done before. When did the level of importance which has been given to Baba Ambedkar now accorded to him before? At the time, he did not even get a ticket from one of the most important political parties,» Harivansh said.
«Someone should ask when did he (Baba Ambedkar) and Patel sahib receive the Bharat Ratna?» Harivansh added.
On opposition alleging that if the BJP-led NDA government assumes power in the Centre again, then the reservations would be abolished, Harivansh said, «So many steps have been taken to strengthen Reservation in all sectors in recent times. You can compare the steps which have been taken now with ones taken before.»
