Congress has no respect for Constitution: Himanta Biswa Sarma

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma launched a scathing attack on the Congress party, accusing it of failing to respect and uphold the Indian Constitution.

During a media interaction on the campaign trail, CM Sarma questioned the contributions of former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and the Congress party towards the upliftment of marginalized communities, specifically targeting Rahul Gandhi.

"I want to ask Rahul Gandhi how many OBCs, STs, or SCs were turned into corporates by Nehru. In contrast, PM Modi has appointed a tribal representative as the President of India," Sarma stated. He challenged Rahul Gandhi to clarify his stance on Hinduism, asserting that India's identity is deeply rooted in its Hindu civilization and a rich history spanning 5,000 years.

Sarma further argued that there is no need to change the Constitution, emphasizing that PM Modi, even with significant parliamentary support, has worked to strengthen it rather than alter it. He criticized the Congress for not implementing the directives of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, particularly the Uniform Civil Code, which is mentioned in the Constitution.

"PM Modi has always adhered to the Constitution, unlike the Congress. Arvind Kejriwal, who once labeled Congress and Hemant Soren as corrupt, is now sharing the stage with them," Sarma remarked, highlighting perceived inconsistencies and alliances within the opposition.
