Patna, Apr 11 (PTI) RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Saturday alleged that the BJP and RSS were attempting to change the Constitution, and replace democracy with dictatorship.
Addressing a programme organised by the RJD minority cell in Patna, the leader of the opposition in the assembly called on party workers for a united fight against “adversaries of the Constitution”.
“RSS and BJP want to replace the Constitution of India with that of RSS. They seek to eliminate democracy and establish a dictatorship. For us, this is a time for struggle,” he said.
“If such changes occur, they will adversely affect backward classes, extremely backward classes, Dalits, and other marginalised communities,” he asserted.
The RJD leader urged party workers to fight against the alleged “divide and rule” policy of the “communal forces”.
“If any leader, Hindu or Muslim, including me, delivers an inflammatory speech or engages in communal politics, they should be strongly opposed,” he said.
Yadav alleged that the BJP and RSS were working to “derail peace and fraternity” in the country by “instigating conflict” for decades.
“I am the son of Lalu Prasad, who stopped LK Advani’s ‘rath’ and got him arrested for trying to facilitate Babri Mosque demolition. Neither my father bowed down to communal forces, nor will I,” he said.
He accused the Centre of filing false cases against him and his family members as “part of a conspiracy to defame and divide” them.
“Cases are filed against my entire family and me. There are conspiracies to defame and divide us. Whenever Tejashwi raises questions about law and order, false cases are filed against him to divert public attention,” he said.
Yadav accused AJUP founder Humayun Kabir of allegedly taking Rs 1,000 crore from the BJP to defeat “secular forces” in poll-bound West Bengal, referring to a viral video shared by the TMC.
“The BJP is trying to topple governments in opposition-ruled states to make sweeping changes in the Constitution,” he claimed. PTI SUK SOM
