The Congress has been against providing reservation to the Dalits and the backwards and the party also “attacked” the Constitution by inserting the word ‘secular’ in the Preamble when it was in power, the BJP alleged on Friday.
The BJP’s charge comes at a time when the Congress has been claiming that the saffron party is seeking more than 400 seats in the Lok Sabha polls to change the Constitution and also end the reservations provided to the members of the Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST) and Other Backward Classes (OBC) if voted to power.
Slamming the Congress at a press conference in the BJP headquarters here, party national general secretary Dushyant Kumar Gautam said, “They are repeatedly saying the Constitution will be changed. Ambedkar used to say that the preamble of the Constitution is its soul. But they added a word ‘secular’ in it, which was the biggest attack on the Constitution.”
