Congress considered Constitution private fiefdom of one family, says Amit Shah

Comparing and contrasting the Constitutional amendments brought by the governments led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and with that steered by Congress governments, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that the Congress altered fundamental Constitutional provisions for political gain, while the BJP focused on empowering citizens.

Calling the Congress “anti-reservation”, the Home Minister said that the only reason the Congress wants an increase in the 50% ceiling is to provide reservation on religious lines.

The Minister accused the Congress for “finding faults” in EVMs after losing elections. Mr. Shah chided the Leader of House in Lok Sabha and senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his remarks on V. D. Savarkar.
