I am indebted to Constitution framed by Babasaheb Ambedkar, says PM Modi

New Delhi:Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday attacked the opposition over spreading misinformation about the Constitution and playing politics over it.

While speaking in Bihar's Gaya, Modi reiterated his commitment for the constitution of the country and said, "People ask me why I care so much for the poor, the Dalits. I do so because I have risen from among them. I therefore feel indebted to this social class. I also feel indebted towards the Constitution framed by Babasaheb Ambedkar which helped me reach where I am."

Modi also added that 2025 is the 75th year of the Indian Constitution and the government will celebrate it on a similar scale as 75 years of Independence.


"Our intent is to reach out to every nook and corner of the country where youngsters will be told how our glorious Constitution was drafted and what its significance is," he said. Modi pointed out in Gaya that it was under the rule of the Congress, RJD's ally, that the Emergency was imposed and several constitutional provisions were suspended. "Our opponents are those who held the Constitution hostage and tried to tamper with it during the Emergency," he said.

Modi addressed rallies in Gaya and Purnia in Bihar in favour of the NDA candidates.

In Purnia, Modi also came down heavily on vote bank politics which has allowed infiltration to flourish in Seemanchal, claiming that this has been to the detriment of the poor and the Dalits of the region.
