BJP attempting to omit secularism, socialism from Constitution: Mallikarjun Kharge

Addressing the party’s 'Samvidhan Bachao Samavesh' here, Kharge also said that dalits, tribals and youths of the country will have to learn to fight for their rights under the BJP rule.
“The BJP government at the Centre is attempting to omit secularism and socialism from our Constitution,” he asserted.
