|April 17, 2024
PRIME Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday categorically ruled out the possibility of changing the Constitution, rubbishing Opposition allegations about a BJP plot to scrap it.
"Neither Modi nor the BJP or even Babasaheb Ambedkar who drafted the Constitution can change it," he declared at a rally in Gaya.
Modi's reaction came a day after RJD chief Lalu Prasad alleged that the BJP was trying to change the Constitution. Lalu added that the poor, the Dalits and the backward classes would not forgive the BJP and Modi if they try to rewrite the Constitution.
