Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday accused the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of lacking the courage to amend the Constitution, despite “making noise” about it.
Addressing a gathering in Mumbai after leading the Nyay Sankalp Padyatra from Mani Bhavan to August Kranti Maidan, he asserted that the truth and the support of the people were on his side. Mani Bhavan was Mahatma Gandhi’s home in Mumbai, and August Kranti Maidan is where the Quit India Movement started in 1942, during India’s struggle for Independence from British rule.
The Wayanad MP’s statement comes in response to recent remarks by BJP MP Anantkumar Hegde, who stated that his party required a two-thirds majority in both Houses of Parliament to rectify what he termed as distortions and unnecessary additions made to the Constitution by the Congress.
