BJP may try to make a new Constitution, says Anil Sadgopal

The BJP, if it retains to power in 2024, may attempt to replace the Constitution of India with the Manu Smriti, Anil Sadgopal, noted educationist and former Dean, University of Delhi, has said.

Dr. Sadgopal was speaking on Wednesday at a History Congress organised by the Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) to mark the 100th year of the Vaikom Satyagraha.

“If you are not careful next year, after winning the Lok Sabha election, the first task they are going to do is to establish a Constituent Assembly of their own, which will make Manu Smriti the Constitution,” he said.
