Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi conveyed concerns on Sunday regarding the intentions of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led Central government, suggesting a desire to alter the Constitution and restrict people’s rights.
Speaking at a public rally in Rajnandgaon, Priyanka Gandhi emphasized the significance of the Constitution, highlighting potential ramifications of any alterations, including the loss of fundamental rights such as the right to question.

Priyanka Gandhi interpreted this as a contradictory stance and attributed it to a perceived thirst for power within the BJP ranks.
