Terming India’s constitution as the best in the world, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, in a veiled reference to the opposition parties, slammed them for defaming democracy and its established institutions and reiterated that no one has the right to change the constitution.
“Merely because one cannot come into power (read as the Opposition parties at the national level), attempts are made to malign several institutions of the country,” Fadnavis mentioned while participating in the debate on constitution. The two-day debate on the constitution initiated in the state legislature concluded on Wednesday.
