Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders have strongly criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his recent remarks on the age of the Indian Constitution. The BJP leaders condemned Gandhi’s statement claiming that the Constitution is “thousands of years old,” emphasizing that it was actually drafted in 1949 and put into effect in 1950. The BJP accused Gandhi of displaying ignorance and disrespect towards Babasaheb Ambedkar, the principal architect of the Indian Constitution. BJP leaders also suggested that the Congress party appeared perplexed and unable to respond coherently to Gandhi’s comments. The criticism comes amidst ongoing political tensions between the two major parties in India.
