Even as both Narendra Modi and the Congress accused each other of trampling over the Constitution, former Uttar Pradesh chief minister and BSP chief Mayawati claimed that there is an internal collusion between the ruling BJP and the Congress, and their calls to save Constitution is an attempt to divert the public attention from pressing issues like unemployment and poverty.
On Monday, the opposition INDIA bloc members waved copies of the Constitution in Parliament as Prime Minister Narendra Modi took oath as a member of the 18th Lok Sabha. Home Minister Amit Shah was also greeted by the opposition in a similar manner.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had also accused Modi and Shah of attacking the Constitution and said the opposition would not allow it.
However, Mayawati appeared unimpressed by this show of strength and the claims by the Congress to save the Constitution as she said, "There is no doubt that there is a competition between the ruling party and the opposition to show the copy of the Constitution inside and outside the Parliament. All these people seem to be two sides of the same coin and their thinking also seems to be almost similar and both of them together have now made this Constitution a casteist, communal and capitalist Constitution to a large extent through many amendments and I am talking about the internal collusion of the ruling party and the Opposition because both of them have failed miserably in removing the poverty, unemployment and inflation."
To divert the attention of the public from these issues, the drama of forcefully saving the Constitution is being staged by the internal collusion of these two, the BSP chief further claimed.
