Modi government poses threat to Constitution: Former CM Siddaramaiah
Bengaluru: Former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has expressed concern that the democracy is being ruined and the Constitution is not safe in the country in the administration of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
He was expressing his views at a 'Meet the Press' programme at the Press Club of Bangalore, in the state capital on Monday.
The BJP leaders and those in power have no respect for the Constitution. Moreover, the RSS leaders who encourage the BJP openly speak out against the Constitution. RSS leader says that Hindu rituals do not have a value in the Constitution, therefore the Constitution should be changed. Union Minister Ananth Kumar Hegde had stated that they have come to power to change the Constitution.
"The government, which has come to power through the Constitution, is attempting to destroy the democratic system. Besides, it has weakened Constitutional institutions such as RBI, CBI, CVC and others" Siddaramaiah said.

Will of people supreme, says Mahua Moitra after BJP's landslide victory in Bengal
Kolkata (PTI): A day after the Trinamool Congress faced a drubbing by the BJP in the West Bengal assembly elections, TMC MP Mohua Moitra on Tuesday said her party respects the mandate as the will of the people is supreme.
She also said that the party will continue the fight for a “secular country”.
In a post on X, Moitra said, “The will of the people is supreme. If Bengal wanted BJP, then Bengal has got BJP. We respect that.”
The BJP on Monday scripted history by winning 206 seats to secure more than a two-thirds majority in the West Bengal assembly polls, ending the TMC’s 15-year rule.
"We fought the good fight against unimaginable odds on an uneven pitch and for that I am proud of my leader & my party," Moitra said.
She said the TMC will continue to stand and fight for a secular country where the constitution, and "not brute majoritarianism, is the last word”.
