Congress Alleges BJP Seeks Constitutional Majority To End Reservation

The Indian National Congress has launched a sharp critique of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), alleging that the ruling party aims to secure a two-thirds majority in the Lok Sabha specifically to amend the Constitution and abolish existing reservation policies. Senior Congress leaders, including Jairam Ramesh, have argued that this legislative ambition is the core motivation behind the BJP's aggressive electoral and political expansion strategy.

Various opposition voices, including leaders from Jammu and Kashmir and Maharashtra, claim the BJP is systematically dismantling opposition parties and engineering political splits to consolidate sufficient strength for major constitutional changes. These concerns are further compounded by discussions regarding a future delimitation exercise, which opposition leaders allege is being framed by the BJP to further manipulate legislative power dynamics for long-term control.

This debate underscores the growing anxiety within the opposition regarding the potential for fundamental changes to the Indian Constitution. As the national political discourse centers on institutional integrity and social justice quotas, the allegation of constitutional overreach is becoming a primary rallying cry for the opposition to mobilize voters ahead of future electoral cycles.
