BJP-RSS trying to change Ambedkar’s Constitution: Sushil Shinde Radha Sharma Feb 4, 2016, 12.58 AM IST First post on http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ahmedabad/BJP- RSS-trying-to-change-Ambedkars-Constitution-Sushil- Shinde/articleshow/50842267.cms GANDHINAGAR: Senior Congress leader and former Union Home minister Sushil Kumar Shinde, while speaking at the 'Samvidhan se Swabhiman' (self-respect through the Constitution) function, organized by Gujarat Congress in Gandhinagar to felicitate dalit heroes from various fields, said that the BJP and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) are trying to change the Constitution given to the country by Babasaheb Ambedkar. Shinde said: "BJP-RSS have always wanted an opportunity to change the Constitution." He said that time has come to fight against the injustice to dalits and the move snatch away their rights. He said that because of the nationalization of banks by Indira Gandhi, their doors were opened to the poor, tribals and dalits and lakhs of youngsters got jobs from this. He said that Dr Ambedkar chose from the best in the world and gave us the best Constitution of the world. He added that division into sects and groups had helped the wrong people come to power. Now it's time to unite to protect the rights of dalits and exploited people, and return the Congress to power. Bharatsinh Solanki, state Congress president said: "We have to go forward with the vision and principles given by Babasaheb Ambedkar. It is necessary that dalits, tribals and the OBC community gets a good education and grows in life." He added that: "Education has increased among dalits but unity has not increased. As the 2017 assembly elections approach, it is time to show the door to those who oppose the Constitution. To protect the rights of dalits and the exploited, it is necessary to bring the Congress to power.'' Shankersinh Vaghela, leader of opposition (LOP) in the assembly said: "Elected representatives of the community must work to protect the rights of the community. Congress gave a Rs 70,000 crore waiver to farmers, the right to education, the right to information and the right to food, while in 19 months the BJP government has carried out just foreign tours in the name of 'acche din'.".
