The Business Guardian
|January 28, 2026
Congress general secretary KC Venugopal on Tuesday criticised the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) over the seating arrangements for various political leaders at the Republic Day celebrations, saying that the ruling party has insulted the Indian Constitution by placing senior leaders from the opposition party in the back rows.

He said that it was a “warning sign” for democracy.
In a veiled attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Venugopal stated that the BJP chose to “act on the whim of their Supreme leader,” and destroyed the ethics of the constitution by designating Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi to the back rows despite them holding “cabinet ranks”.
