This day is celebrated as Constitution Day and the Indian Constitution came into full force on 26 January 1950. Interestingly, both the ruling NDA and the opposition alliance are trying to project themselves as protectors of the Constitution. Both BJP and Congress leave no stone unturned in calling each other the enemy of the Constitution. In this Lok Sabha election, the opposition tried to spread the word that if the Modi government comes to power again, the Constitution will be in danger. At the same time, in July this year, the Modi government announced to celebrate June 25 as Constitution Killing Day, so that the dark days of Emergency could be remembered.
