NDTV
Lok Sabha elections 2024: "The Constitution of the country is everything for the (BJP) government and even if Babasaheb Ambedkar himself comes, he cannot abolish the Constitution," Prime Minister Narendra Modi said
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today attacked the Opposition for saying the Constitution and democracy would be in danger if he wins a third term. At a rally in Nagpur district, PM Modi said BR Ambedkar's "soul must be blessing me" for scrapping special status from Jammu and Kashmir.
"If the Constitution was so important, why wasn't it in force in the entire country till Article 370 was scrapped (in 2019)? The Opposition resisted it because it was soft on separatists," PM Modi said. "Ambedkar's soul must be blessing Modi after the abrogation of Article 370," he added.
"The Constitution of the country is everything for the (BJP) government and even if Babasaheb Ambedkar himself comes, he cannot abolish the Constitution," PM Modi said, and accused the Congress of trying to "destroy the Constitution" by imposing Emergency in the country.
The BJP, Vishnu Deo Sai said, has shown huge respect to Ambedkar, no matter who headed the government -- Atal Bihari Vajpayee or Narendra Modi.
