BJP is conspiring to wipe out Nehru’s name from history: Prof BK Chandrashekar
Bengaluru, May 27: KPCC vice president Prof BK Chandrashekar alleged that the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi have been conspiring to wipe out the name of former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru from the history of the country.
Offering floral tributes to the portrait of Pandit Nehru to mark his death anniversary at the KPCC office here on Sunday, Prof Chandrashekar said that PM Modi has been making false allegations against Nehru. Unfortunately, the first prime minister is not being recalled in Congress. But Modi has been speaking against him whenever he gets opportunity, he said.
In its 2014 election manifesto, the BJP has not included the names of Nehru and Ambedkar in the list of freedom fighters. As Ambedkar was against Hindutva concept, the BJP leaders have been criticizing him. But now, just to get votes from dalit community, the BJP has been chanting Ambedkar mantra. Nehru and Ambedkar did not copy the British constitution directly and presented to the country. They have studied each and every aspect and its pros and cons before making a draft of the constitution. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, ministers Ananth Kumar Hegde, Murali Manohar Joshi and others should understand this before making any comments, he said.
Senior Congress leader MV Rajasekharan said that the foundation, laid by Nehru on the basis of science and technology, industry and agriculture, of the country was so strong. Nehru had foresight about the development of the country. BJP leaders should understand this, he added.
Prof KE Radhakrishna said that when Opposition parties criticized the government, Nehru would have taken it positively. When Ram Manohar Lohia was defeated against him, Nehru had said that the Parliament without Lohia was incomplete and when Lohia was elected in the by-election, Nehru had appreciated it and said that the Parliament was complete. Both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah should learn how to respect the others, he said.
Senior leaders MR Venkatesh, G Krishnappa, Maruthi and others were present.
“Let Prime Minister Narendra Modi declare in open that they would not change the Constitution of the country”.
