PM Modi Accuses Congress of Misusing Constitution
During a rally in Hisar, Haryana, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack on the Congress party, accusing it of exploiting the Constitution for political gain. He remarked that the Congress is “exploiting the holy Constitution as a weapon to grab power,” and accused the party of using constitutional provisions as tools of convenience rather than upholding their true spirit.
Modi’s remarks were part of a broader narrative where he sought to position his government as the true custodian of constitutional values, while portraying Congress as opportunistic and disconnected from the people’s aspirations.
Emphasis on Development and Constitutional Integrity
The Prime Minister used the platform to reaffirm his government’s developmental agenda, underlining initiatives in infrastructure, rural development, and social welfare. He claimed that these efforts are grounded in constitutional ideals and aimed at ensuring inclusive progress. Stressing governance and accountability, he positioned the BJP as the party focused on action rather than rhetoric.
According to him, the Constitution should be a guiding light for policy and development—not a weapon in political warfare.
Congress Defends Its Record, Counters Allegations
Following the Prime Minister’s comments, Congress leaders pushed back against the allegations. They argued that their legacy includes shaping and protecting the very Constitution that Modi claims they are misusing. The party maintained that it has always operated within the framework of democratic norms and accused the BJP of making such statements to distract from governance failures and rising public discontent.
The sharp exchange comes as political activity intensifies ahead of the upcoming general elections. With both parties invoking the Constitution to validate their agendas, the battle for public perception is increasingly centered on who truly upholds democratic principles.
As campaigns gather momentum, the Constitution has once again become a flashpoint in India’s ever-evolving political discourse.
