RANCHI: Leader of the Opposition in the Jharkhand assembly, Babulal Marandi, on Sunday, aimed a dig at the Congress party for organising the 'Samvidhan Bachao Rally' from May 6, terming the campaign a "drama".
Marandi, also the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) state president, accused Congress of hypocrisy, saying the party that has repeatedly undermined the Constitution in the past is now trying to portray itself as its saviour.
"The Congress party, which made a mockery of the Constitution for 70 years, has, for the last one or two years, presented itself as a protector of the Constitution and is organising rallies across the country. The Hindi proverb 'sattar choohe khaakar billee haj ko chalee' fits the party... The Congress party should apologise by holding their ears on the land of Lord Birsa Munda for violating the Constitution before organising any rally to save it," Marandi said during a press conference in Ranchi on Sunday.
