Union Home Minister Amit Shah has accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of disrespecting and ridiculing the Constitution by showing a "fake" copy of it.

Shah asserted that the BJP will never allow the Congress to implement reservations for minorities.

"Rahul Gandhi shows a copy of the Constitution. He was exposed two days back. Someone got a copy of the Constitution he has shown. The Constitution of India was written on the cover of that copy which was void of any content. Don't make a mockery of the Constitution. It is a question of faith and trust. By waving a fake copy of the Constitution, you have insulted B R Ambedkar and the Constituent Assembly. The Congress party has made the Constitution a mockery," Shah alleged at a BJP rally in Jharkhand's Palamu.

Shah also noted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has decided to celebrate 26 November as Constitution Day.

He accused Congress of being "hell-bent on snatching reservations" from OBCs, tribals and Dalits and "planned to give it to minorities".

"The Congress is against OBC quota, it promised 10 pc reservation to minorities when a delegation of Ulemas met Congress leaders in Maharashtra. Under PM Modi's leadership, the BJP will never allow religion-based reservations," Shah said.

Shah also criticised Congress for its alleged attempt to restore Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir.

"Kashmir is an integral part of India. I warn Rahul Gandhi that even your fourth-generation can't bring back Article 370," he said, news agency PTI reported.

Shah also hit out at the JMM-led dispensation in Jharkhand, terming it as the "most corrupt government" in the country.

Attacking Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren, Shah stated, "The Chief Minister says infiltration is the BJP's political agenda. I say it is CM's bank...corrupt leaders will be hanged upside down."

Elections to the 81-member Jharkhand assembly will be held on 13 and 20 November, and the counting of votes will take place on 23 November.
