Constitution not written by any ‘random Baba’

“The leaders of the BJP are speaking of finishing the Constitution again and again. It is a Constitution written by Baba Saheb Ambedkar, not by some random Baba. No one has the power to change it. They are not capable of doing it,” Yadav said speaking at a INDIA bloc rally at Ranchi.
“In Bihar as well, their ministers and candidates are saying constantly that they will finish the Constitution. The people of the country will finish you if you speak about finishing off the Constitution,” the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader said.
