Meanwhile, on Saturday, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge accused the BJP and the RSS of wanting to rewrite the Constitution. He, however, said that no matter how hard they try, the Constitution cannot be destroyed.
Kharge also slammed the Centre for “selling off” public sector enterprises.
“The BJP is selling off Nehru-era public sector enterprises, factories that employed lakhs of workers, to Adani and Ambani. Now, the RSS and BJP even talk of rewriting the Constitution. Let me be clear: No matter how hard they try, the Constitution cannot be destroyed,” Kharge said while addressing a mega convention organised by the Karnataka government here. (ANI)
