Controversial statement of BJP MP
Following BJP MP Hegde’s controversial statement, Congress alleged that “rewriting and destroying” the Constitution is the agenda of BJP and RSS. Hegde said the BJP would need a two-thirds majority in both houses of Parliament, the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, to amend the Constitution and “remove unnecessary things added to it by the Congress”. Hegde, a six-time Lok Sabha member from Karnataka, said, “If the Constitution has to be amended, the Congress has fundamentally distorted the Constitution by forcing unnecessary things into it, especially by bringing in laws that were aimed at suppressing Hindu society.” “If all this has to be changed, it is not possible with this present majority.”
