The story so far: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge’s mention of Article 371 at a public rally in Rajasthan recently caused a stir, with the BJP denouncing it as a “horrendous mistake” and the Congress suggesting that the “slip of the tongue” had inadvertently exposed the “Modi-Shah game plan” to change the constitutional provision.
On April 6, Home Minister Amit Shah hit out at the Congress chief for criticising Prime Minister Narendra Modi for mentioning Article 370 at an election rally in Rajasthan. “ … it is only expected of Congress to make such horrendous mistakes. Such blunders made by it have haunted our nation for decades now,” Mr. Shah said.
