Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday, responded to the discussions on the Presidential Address, taking the opportunity to sharply criticize Congress and Rahul Gandhi.
Modi conveyed that the Constitution goes beyond being a mere compilation of articles. For us, the spirit and diction of the Constitution are invaluable. It acts as a beacon for every government’s policy-making. In any scenario, the Constitution guides us through.
