As India marked its 77th Republic Day, Tejashwi Yadav, Bihar’s Leader of Opposition, used the occasion to reflect on the nation’s history. Yadav emphasized the importance of honoring freedom fighters and the framers of the Constitution who sacrificed for India’s unity and freedom. However, he did not shy away from criticizing the NDA government’s policies, labeling them as detrimental to the country’s social and economic fabric.
Tejashwi Yadav expressed concern over what he perceived as a decline in democratic values in the country. He accused the government of undermining democracy rather than strengthening it, raising alarms about the direction in which the nation is heading. Yadav also pointed fingers at what he described as fascist elements attempting to erode the foundational principles of the Constitution.
In a social media post, Tejashwi Yadav warned against any attempts to tamper with the Constitution’s Preamble, viewing such actions as a threat to India’s democratic essence. He urged citizens to unite in safeguarding the Constitution, emphasizing the need to uphold the nation’s core values of sovereignty, socialism, secularism, and democracy. Yadav’s message underscores the enduring significance of the Constitution and democracy in the country’s political landscape.
