Santosh Lad takes exception to Anantkumar Hegde’s statement on changing Constitution

Taking strong exception to MP Anantkumar Hegde’s statement about the BJP changing the Constitution, Labour Minister Santosh Lad has urged the BJP to announce in its election manifesto that it will change the Constitution and also, give the reasons for doing so.

Speaking to presspersons in Hubballi on Monday, Mr. Lad sought to know why is it that the BJP is now distancing itself from Mr. Hegde’s statement.

“It is making one leader speak about changing the Constitution and supporting him from behind. And, then, saying that it has nothing to do with his statement,” he said and added that if the BJP is really serious about the issue, then it should expel the leader who talks about changing the Constitution from the party.
