Congress leader Rahul Gandhi
Political rhetoric between the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Congress has again heated up over a new issue. After Rahul Gandhi recently presented the Constitution, the BJP targeted him over the issue. BJP spokesperson Prem Shukla and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis accused Rahul that it was not a constitutional statue but just a blank sheet of paper. A symbol of “hypocrisy”.
Maharashtra BJP released a video on X attacking the Congress. He accused Rahul Gandhi of actually trying to promote “communist and urban Naxalite” ideology by displaying his red constitution. The BJP claimed that the book, which was presented as a constitution, actually had blank pages that did not contain any constitution-related material. Beyond the video, some say Congress’s own constitution is equally hollow.
The constitution is just an excuse to amplify Lal Kitab and spread hatred in the name of love…
Congress wants to erase the Constitution of India like this. All the laws made by Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar will be deleted. Here’s why Rahul Gandhi will cancel bookings at short notice pic.twitter.com/C94Wa3CZee

What did spokesman Prem Shukla say?
Spokesperson Prem Shukla issued a stinging statement on the matter, saying: “Rahul Gandhi’s hypocrisy has been exposed today.” The constitution he proudly waved was actually just a blank sheet of paper. . Just as his politics had no solid foundation, so too did the book become an empty text.
Fadnavis also said that the attack in Kolhapur
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis raised the issue at an event in Kolhapur and accused Rahul Gandhi of letting “people in his Anarchy spreads all around”. Fadnavis said Rahul Gandhi’s display of the red constitution was a symbol of his “urban Naxal mentality”. He also accused Rahul of promoting Naxal ideology in the Congress.
Awaiting Congress’ response
The Congress is yet to issue any official statement after the BJP leveled these allegations. However, some Congress leaders reacted to the issue by mocking the BJP, calling it an “attempt to divert attention”. The Congress said Rahul Gandhi’s aim was to respect the Constitution and democratic values, which was distorted by the BJP.
