Ahmedabad: Priyanka Gandhi, a member of the Congress party, said on Saturday that if the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) returns to power, they will amend the Constitution despite denials by the high command of the party.
“Leaders of BJP have made up their mind to amend the Constitution. But Prime Minister Narendra Modi denies it. This is their strategy. They never do what they want first. But once they come to power, they will do it.” She said,”They want to change constitution in order to weaken people and snatch away rights given by it.Priyanka Gandhi

Priyanka Gandhi Indian Constitution
On Saturday, Gandhi was addressing a public meeting in tribal-dominated Valsad district of Gujarat at Dharampur village in support of Congress candidate Anant Patel who has been given ticket for Lok Sabha seat from Valsad reserved for STs.
She likened recent charges of ‘wealth redistribution’ levelled by Prime Minister Narendra Modi against a popular leader as uncle’s joke at a wedding. She imagined “Uncle Ji” warning Congress about stealing jewelry and selling them saying they would laugh at him instead of being alarmed.
“The Prime Minister of this country today talks such nonsense with you because he believes that people will take his words seriously given the post he holds,” said Gandhi criticizing Modi’s speech which indicated that PM uses such tactics due to weightage attached with his position.
Congress’ alleged intention on inheritance tax and wealth redistribution were previously targeted by PM Modi who also stated that Congress and its supporters keep an eye on people’s earnings and possessions. “They want to amend law to snatch our mothers’ asset & mangalsutra”
Priyanka Gandhi Congress party
Earlier this week during a rally in Chhattisgarh, Modi accused Congress party is planning taxes hike and doesn’t want people should leave their hard-earned money for children after they die.
“They (Congress) want your assets & children’s rights,” Prime Minister said during an election rally in Ambikapur, north Chhattisgarh.
Modi also during his election rallies said Congress party will steal women’s gold jewelry like “mangalsutra” and distribute them to others.
Gandhi termed Modi’s shift of focus absurd and added it to nervousness. Now he is telling people that Congress will use X-ray machine in their houses and take away any ornament they may have, any “mangalsutra” kept in locker and give it to other people. Is it possible at all? Is he getting nervous because of this?” asked Gandhi.
She said PM Modi came on stage during polls looking like “Superman” but asked people to remember him as a man of “mehangai (inflation)”. BJP leaders project PM as powerful, she questioned why if he can supposedly stop wars with a snap then why can’t he alleviate poverty just the same way?
All through the nation, but particularly in Gujarat, where Modi originates from, the Congress leader claimed that tribal people are experiencing several injustices such as inflation going up, lack of employment opportunities, low payment for work done among others like land grabbing and violence against women.
On May 7th there will be a third phase election in Gujarat which will cover all 26 Lok Sabha seats. June 4th is when votes are counted.
