Former Kolkata Commissioner Vinit Goyal Conspired The Whole RG Kar Case: Sanjay Roy

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on Monday slammed the Congress for claiming the BJP will change the country's Constitution.

Addressing a rally for BJP candidate Charansingh Thakur in Katol, he said it was the Congress which had "distorted" the Constitution for self-interest and had also imposed Emergency in 1975.

Maharashtra assembly polls will be held on November 20, while results will be announced on November 23.

"We will not change Babasaheb Ambedkar's Constitution nor will we allow anyone to do so. The basic structure of the Constitution cannot be changed," he said.

The minister also cited the Supreme Court judgment in the landmark Kesavananda Bharti case to buttress his point.

"The Constitution's salient features like freedom of speech, democracy, socialism, secularism as well as fundamental rights cannot be changed by anyone. Indira Gandhi during Emergency, distorted the Constitution. In the history of the country, it was Congress which did the sin of distorting the Constitution and they now blame us," Gadkari asserted.
