Congress chief Rahul Gandhi on Sunday claimed the ruling BJP makes “lot of noise” however doesn’t have sufficient braveness to “change” the Constitution, and asserted that the reality and the nation’s persons are on his aspect.
Notably, BJP MP Anantkumar Hegde just lately mentioned his celebration wanted a two-third majority in each Houses of Parliament to amend the Constitution and set proper the distortions and pointless additions made to it by the Congress.
The BJP subsequently moved to defuse the row sparked by Hegde’s remarks because it dubbed it as his “personal opinion” and sought a clarification from him.
Rahul Gandhi was addressing a gathering in a corridor right here after taking out the ‘Nyay Sankalp Padyatra’ from the Mani Bhavan, Mahatma Gandhi’s dwelling in Mumbai, to the August Kranti Maidan, the place the Quit India motion began in 1942 throughout India’s wrestle for independence from the British rule.
The Lok Sabha member from Wayanad mentioned the present battle is between two “expressions”, not simply between the BJP and the Congress.
“One thinks the country should run centrally, where one person possesses all the knowledge. Contrary to this, we think there should be decentralisation of power, and people’s voices should be heard,” Rahul Gandhi mentioned.
If an individual holds an IIT diploma, it doesn’t make him/her extra educated than a farmer, he mentioned.
But the BJP doesn’t perform like this, the previous Congress president mentioned.
“(Prime Minister) Modi and the RSS have a vision that knowledge lies with one person…farmers, labourers and the unemployed youth have no knowledge,” he added.
On Saturday, the Congress MP concluded his 63-day-old ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’ right here by paying tributes to Dr B R Ambedkar at his memorial ‘Chaityabhoomi’ in central Mumbai and studying the Preamble of the Constitution.
The yatra, a mass outreach motion forward of the Lok Sabha polls, had commenced from strife-torn Manipur on January 14.
