MH-MODI-WASNIK

Congress general secretary Mukul

Wasnik Thursday alleged that if the Indian Constitution was

facing any danger or challenge from anyone, it was from Prime

Minister Narendra Modi.

The senior Congress leader was talking to reporters at

Deekshabhoomi here at the launch of the fifth phase of the

party's 'Sangharsh Yatra' in Vidarbha.

"Today, when we are starting the Sangharsh Yatra, I

want to say that Narendra Modi took charge as the Prime

Minister by taking oath of the Indian Constitution. But today,

if the Constitution is facing any danger or challenge from

anyone, then it is from PM Modi," he said.

"With this Sangharsh Yatra, we will go to every town

and village for the protection of the Constitution and I am

sure people will support us," the former Union minister said.

Wasnik also alleged that Modi had failed to fulfil the

promises he had made before becoming the PM.

"We all remember that in 2014 he had come out as a

'dream merchant' promising every section of the society that

their aspirations will be fulfilled in some way or the other.

But five years down the line he has proved to be a hollow

leader as none of the promises made by him have been

fulfilled," he said.

"Whether it is concerning employment for young people,

remunerative prices to farmers, security to women,

strengthening of the economic situation and development of

society in different parts of the country, he has failed on

every single promise. Therefore, people across various

sections of the society are very annoyed and agitated," Wasnik

said.

The Congress will highlight the failures of the Modi

government during the Sangharsh Yatra, he added.

"In the recently-held elections in five states we have

seen how people have responded in Madhya Pradesh, Chhatishgarh

and Rajasthan, the states where the BJP was in power. They

were hoping that they will get confidence again, but that has

not happened," Wasnik said.
