No. of Paragraph 13

Days after the Congress’s South Goa candidate said the Indian Constitution was “imposed” on Goans, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday hit out at the Congress, saying such remarks were part of a Congress “conspiracy” to capture vote bank.

At a public meeting in South Goa, Modi said, “Just for vote bank, Congress is insulting the spirit of ‘Ek Bharat, Shresht Bharat’ and our Constitution. The Congress candidate in Goa has made a big revelation about their hidden agenda… that the country’s Constitution does not matter to them. This is their well thought-out conspiracy for vote bank. It is not an isolated case. The Congress MP in Karnataka has also talked about dividing the nation.”

“Due to this thinking of the Congress, Article 370 continued for 70 years in J&K…and the country continued to burn in the fire of terrorism. The INDIA alliance is talking of bringing back Article 370. You tell me, will (you) allow Article 370 to be brought back?” he said.

During a corner meeting in South Goa Monday, Captain Viriato Fernandes, Congress candidate from South Goa constituency, while recalling a discussion with the Congress leader Rahul Gandhi ahead of Lok Sabha elections in 2019, had said, “We placed 12 demands before him (Rahul) and one of them concerned the demand for dual citizenship. He asked whether the demand was constitutional and when he was told it was not, he said the demand would not be considered if it is not constitutional. I explained to him that the Indian Constitution was implemented on January 26, 1950. (So), when Goa was liberated from Portuguese rule in 1961, the Constitution was imposed on us. When the Indian Constitution was framed and implemented, Goa was not part of India,” Fernandes had said.
