Panaji, April 30 (SocialNews.XYZ) All India Mahila Congress president Alka Lamba on Tuesday said the anti-defection law will become stronger to save democracy if the Congress forms the central government after the Lok Sabha elections.
Addressing a press conference at the Congress headquarters here on Tuesday, Lamba said the false promises of the BJP have been exposed, adding that the NDA will not cross the 180-seat mark in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections.
Speaking about the anti-defection law, Lamba said the BJP-led central government had weakened the law to usurp power.
He added: “Once the government is formed, we will work to strengthen the anti-defection law by canceling the membership of elected representatives who change their position.” In Goa, the BJP is encouraging defections. She wondered: Why does the Prime Minister oppose strengthening the anti-defection law?
The Congress leader also said that the BJP will not be allowed to change the Constitution drafted by BR Ambedkar.
“The BJP is trying to change the Constitution. It is also trying to take away people’s rights and freedoms. But we will not allow that to happen. The Ambedkar Constitution does not discriminate against the poor and the rich. Hence, we will not allow the BJP to manipulate the Constitution of India,” Lamba said.
