New Delhi [India], November 7 (ANI): Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Thursday targeted Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis over his remarks on Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and said that the former should think first and then speak.
In a post on X, Jairam said that Devendra Fadnavis is getting desperate.
“He accuses Rahul Gandhi of showing a ‘red book’ to seek support from so-called ‘urban naxals’. This book which Fadnavis is taking objection to is the Constitution of India, of which Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar was the main architect. This is the very same Constitution of India that the RSS had attacked in November 1949 as not having been inspired by Manusmriti. It is the very same Constitution of India that the non-biological PM wants to be replaced,” Jairam Ramesh said on X.
The Congress leader further pointed out that as far as the “red book” is concerned, Devendra Fadnavis should know that it carries a Foreword by one of India’s most distinguished legal personalities, K.K. Venugopal, who was Attorney General of India from 2017-2022.
“As far as ‘Urban Naxals’ is concerned, the Union Home Ministry told Parliament on February 9th, 2022, and March 11th, 2020, that the Government of India does not use the term! Fadnavis should think first and then speak,” Jairam Ramesh added.
Earlier today, Devendra Fadnavis targeted LoP Rahul Gandhi over his ‘Samvidhan Sammelan’ in Maharashtra on Wednesday.
He said, “Rahul Gandhi’s disloyalty for the Constitution of India was seen yesterday. The accusation I made turned out to be true. He doesn’t want to glorify the Constitution with the Red Book but he did this drama to warn and seek help from the urban naxals and anarchists who are with him. He is insulting the Constitution every day. Congress insulted Dr B R Ambedkar, and insulted the Constitution. Now no one will forget their tricks.”
During his visit to Nagpur on Wednesday, Rahul Gandhi carried a copy of the Constitution in his hand at an event where he advocated for a caste census.
Polling will be held for 288-seats in Maharashtra on November 20 and results will be declared on November 23. (ANI)
