Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], December 15 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national spokesperson CR Kesavan on Sunday praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s speech in the Lok Sabha, calling it a testament to his dedication as a democrat and constitutionalist.
Speaking to ANI, Kesavan said, “PM Modi’s stirring speech in Parliament demonstrated what a dedicated democrat and a committed constitutionalist PM Modi is. His remarkable speech will be etched in the glorious annals of our parliamentary history.”
He also criticised Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra saying, “the deadpan and dumbfounded facial expression of the Congress party’s dynastic duo will be clear in people’s minds. They were so flabbergasted and unsettled and unnerved when PM Modi exposed how the Congress party from Nehru to Rahul Gandhi had tried to constantly crush our constitution.”
On Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused the Congress of constantly disrespecting the Constitution.
Responding to the two-day discussion in Lok Sabha on 75 years of the Constitution, PM Modi made repeated reference to the Nehru-Gandhi family, accusing every generation of its leaders of disrespecting the Constitution.
“Congress has continuously disrespected the Constitution. It has made attempts to reduce its importance. History of Congress is full of such examples,” he said.
PM Modi also accused the Congress of manipulating reservations for appeasement, harming SC, ST, and OBC communities and said Dr BR Ambedkar had introduced the reservation system to ensure equality and rights for the underprivileged.
“Baba Saheb Ambedkar dedicated his life to uplift the marginalised communities for India’s progress. He believed that to make our country develop in a true sense, no section should remain weak. For this, he introduced the reservation system to ensure equality and rights for the underprivileged. However, vote-bank politics by them (Congress) hijacked this system, manipulating reservations for appeasement, harming SC, ST, and OBC communities,” PM Modi said in his speech during a discussion on the 150 years of adoption of the Constitution.
Recollecting Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s decision to tear a decision made by the then cabinet in a media briefing, PM Modi alleged that these individuals “habitually played with the Constitution and did not respect it”. He added that it was unfortunate that the then Cabinet later changed its own decision.
The two-day debate on 75 years of the Constitution started in Lok Sabha on Friday. (ANI)
