Reportedly congress leader Rahul gandhi on thursday claimed that prime minister Narendra Modi feels the “red book" of the Constitution is blank as he has never read it. Addressing a rally in Maharashtra’s Nandurbar, gandhi said the Constitution contains the soul of india and the principles envisaged by national icons like Birsa Munda, Dr BR Ambedkar and mahatma Gandhi.
Meanwhile Rahul gandhi said “The bjp has objections to the red colour of the book (which gandhi has been displaying in rallies). But we don’t care about whether the colour is red or blue. We are committed to preserve it (Constitution) and ready to lay down our lives too for it. Modi ji feels the Constitution (book) I carry is blank because he has no idea what it contains. He has not read it in his life”. congress wants adivasis, Dalits and backward classes to get representation in decision-making, the leader of opposition in the lok sabha said.
Moreover bharatiya janata party (BJP) leaders in their campaign for the november 20 maharashtra assembly polls, have sought to link the “red book" displayed by gandhi to “urban Naxalism". He added “There are several tribal workers under the mahatma gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee scheme. My goal is to ensure that people from backward communities, tribals and Dalits get their rightful participation in the power structure and decision-making”.
