BJP uses Constitution to gain power: Akhilesh

LUCKNOW:  Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav slammed the BJP on Thursday, alleging that the saffron party uses the Constitution to gain power but as soon as it assumes office, it stops respecting the Constitution.

Addressing a press conference here, Yadav said despite taking an oath to uphold the Constitution framed by B R Ambedkar, BJP leaders display a “complete lack of integrity” in their actions.

“The Bharatiya Janata Party uses the Constitution to come to power. It discusses the Constitution, talks about following the Constitution and respecting it until it comes to power. But as soon as the Bharatiya Janata Party comes to power, it does not respect the Constitution,” the SP president said. PTI
