Prime Minister Narendra Modi lashed out at Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad for his remarks that the BJP’s leaders are allegedly attempting to change the Constitution. While addressing a public meeting at Gandhi Maidan in Gaya on April 16, Mr. Modi said that neither Modi nor Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) or even Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar can change the Constitution of India.
Mr. Modi’s statement came a day after Mr. Prasad issued the statement that the Prime Minister must take action against those leaders who are talking about changing the constitution.
Without naming the RJD leader and former Chief Minister, Mr. Modi accused him of spreading lies. “Those who want to use the Constitution as their political weapon, they must listen to me very carefully with ears open that for the past three decades you presented several distorted stories to threatened and frightened people. There was a time when you used to say that if BJP and RSS comes to power, the country will burn. From the time of Atal Bihari Vajpayeeji, we ruled in several States and gave the most peaceful regime. Whenever BJP goes ahead, they use the Constitution as their weapon and playing the same old record for past 25 to 30 year,“ Mr. Modi said
