The BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi honour the Constitution and spread the ideas and policies of Dr Ambedkar, the party leader claimed.

“The maximum number of amendments was made to the Constitution during the Congress governments in the country. Over 100 amendments were made during their tenure. The Congress also misused the Constitution. Now, its leaders claim themselves as protectors of the Constitution," Marandi alleged.

Later, BJP leaders walked to the Ravidas Colony in the city and interacted with people to make them aware of the teachings of Baba Saheb.
