Congress vs. BJP: Clash Over Constitution and Emergency Anniversary

In Madhya Pradesh, Congress leaders criticize BJP for marking the 50th anniversary of the Emergency while allegedly undermining the Constitution over the past 11 years. Accusations include government toppling and oppression. The protest calls for installing Dr. Ambedkar's statue, linking BJP's actions to constitutional disrespect.

In Madhya Pradesh, the political war of words continues as Congress leaders accuse the BJP of hypocrisy for commemorating the Emergency's 50th anniversary while allegedly eroding constitutional values. They claim the BJP has undermined democracy by toppling elected governments and marginalizing minority communities.

Key Congress figures, including Digvijaya Singh and state party head Jitu Patwari, spearheaded a protest demanding the installation of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar's statue at a high court site in Gwalior. They allege that the BJP's refusal to do so reflects an anti-constitutional stance, while Congress's demonstration seeks to defend democratic principles.

The BJP, however, dismisses these allegations, labeling the Congress's protests as insincere. BJP vice president Saroj Pandey accuses Congress of lacking moral authority, due to its past actions during the Emergency period under Indira Gandhi's regime.
