BJP Accuses Congress Of Distributing Blank Copies Of Constitution At Rahul Gandhi's Nagpur Event
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has alleged that the Congress party distributed blank copies of the Indian Constitution at an event led by Rahul Gandhi in Nagpur, Maharashtra, whose theme was protecting and upholding the Constitution.
The Maharashtra BJP shared a video on social media that swiftly gained widespread attention.
The video showed the books with 'Constitution of India' written on the front but containing only blank pages except for the preamble on the first page.
Amid ongoing preparations for the upcoming Maharashtra Assembly election on 20 November, the ruling BJP has capitalised on the issue, criticising Rahul Gandhi and the Congress party by labelling them as anti-reservation and anti-Constitution.
"Remember, respected Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar and his constitution is not an election issue but the foundation of life of India and Indians. So the people will teach a lesson to the anti-constitutional Congress," it added.
Meanwhile, the Congress hit back at the BJP and accused it of spreading a fake narrative.
Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar clarified that a notebook and a pen was given to all those that had attended the event.
