Janata Dal United (JD-U) president Lalan Singh on Sunday targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying if retains power in Lok Sabha elections 2024, the PM will change the Constitution. He was speaking at a party event in Nalanda, Bihar.
"...If he (PM Narendra Modi) will return to power in 2024, then he will change the Constitution drafted by DR BR Ambedkar and replace it with Narendra Modi Constitution... He (PM) should tell as to what development works he has done in the last 9 years," said Singh.
Meanwhile, Bihar Chief Minister and JD-U leader Nitish Kumar is being criticised over the sudden rise in the crime rate in the state. The opposition BJP slammed Kumar saying he is dreaming of becoming prime minister of the country while he is not able to handle the law and order situation in his own state.
Taking note of Kumar recently visiting the national capital to pay tributes to late Atal Bihari Vajpayee at his memorial, senior BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad also wondered if it was an “honest” expression of his love for the former prime minister or he wanted to show “something” to his allies.
“What has happened to you Nitish babu? Few days ago, a police officer was murdered in Bihar. Then, a journalist was killed. A news report came today that a sand mafia attacked policemen in Gaya. Nitish babu you are not able to handle Bihar. Take care of Bihar and quit worrying about the country,” Prasad told reporters here.
The country is safe in the hands of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the former Union minister added.
