Congress leader Rahul Gandhi hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Maharashtra’s Nandurbar, saying he thinks the Lal Kitab of the Constitution is blank as he has never read it. Gandhi said the Constitution embodies the soul of India and the principles envisioned by national icons like Birsa Munda, Dr BR Ambedkar and Mahatma Gandhi. He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi says that the Constitution which I show in public meetings is empty. The Constitution is empty for Narendra Modi ji, because he has never read it. They say that Rahul Gandhi shows the red colored Constitution. Modi ji, its color doesn’t matter to us, but what is written inside it, we are ready to sacrifice our lives to protect it.

In fact, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders tried to link the Lal Kitab displayed by Gandhi to urban Naxalism in their campaign for the Maharashtra Assembly elections to be held on November 20. At the same time, Gandhi alleged that PM Modi and BJP are insulting national symbols by making such comments. He said that you have been given the name ‘tribal’ in the Constitution. But people of BJP-RSS call you ‘Vanvasi’. There is a big difference between tribals and forest dwellers. Birsa Munda ji fought against the British to save this right of yours. Today Narendra Modi and BJP people are roaming around with this thinking.
Highlighting the manifesto of the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), Gandhi said women, farmers and youth would be benefited from provisions like Rs 3,000 monthly assistance and free bus travel, farm loan waiver up to Rs 3 lakh and Rs 4,000 per month assistance. Will be protected. Unemployed youth. Reiterating the demand for caste census, he said that it would help in ascertaining the number of tribals, Dalits and backward classes in Maharashtra and their share in resources.

Gandhi claimed that currently out of the eight percent tribal population, they have only one percent stake in decision making. He also alleged that five lakh jobs have been snatched away from Maharashtra as various big projects have been shifted to other states. He said, “Our government will not allow this.” The projects meant for Maharashtra will stay here while the projects meant for Gujarat will stay there.
