Kejriwal alleges PM Modi will remove reservation, amend Constitution

 Accompanied by wife Sunita Kejriwal, the Delhi chief minister while addressing the gathering claimed that the prime minister, Narendra Modi is set upon to bring amendments in the Constitution if voted to power once again.

“Modi will remove reservation provided to the Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe and also the Backward classes if he succeeds in retaining his power this Lok Sabha election. Therefore you all make sure to defeat the BJP by pressing the button on the symbol of bow and arrow and not on the symbol of Kamal (lotus),” ranted the Delhi chief minister.

Kejriwal said ever since he was released from prison for 21 days, he has been making extensive electioneering tours and his only mission is to defeat the BJP.
