Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, while addressing a press conference in New Delhi on Monday, targeted the BJP and said that the "ruling party at the centre has not fully accepted the Constitution" and termed it as 'unfortunate'.  He was responding to remarks made by BJP MP Anant Kumar Hegde.

"If BJP believes in BR Ambedkar it should remove such people from the party, not give them poll tickets. If PM Modi has courage, then throw out the leader who has talked about changing the Constitution", Kharge had said.  "It is unfortunate that the BJP has not fully accepted the Constitution. On one hand, the PM says that the Constitution will never be changed, on the other hand, he asks his people to say that a two-thirds majority is required to amend the Constitution," Kharge added.
