Patna, Jan 26 (NationPress) As India marked its 77th Republic Day on January 26, the ideals of the Constitution, democracy, and national unity were palpable across the nation—from Delhi to the various states. Tejashwi Yadav, the Leader of Opposition in Bihar, shared his Republic Day greetings while also delivering a pointed political critique aimed at the NDA government.
On the social media platform X, Tejashwi Yadav emphasized that Republic Day serves as a reminder of the valiant freedom fighters, the architects of the Constitution, and the eternal martyrs who laid down their lives for India's freedom, unity, and integrity.
Nonetheless, he did not shy away from criticizing the ruling NDA's policies. Tejashwi asserted that the current state of affairs in the nation is becoming alarming due to what he labels as the government’s “anti-social, anti-economic, and anti-constitutional” policies.
He remarked that despite decades of Constitution implementation, there are attempts being made to undermine democracy rather than fortify it.
In his message, Tejashwi accused certain fascist forces, whom he claims contributed nothing to the freedom struggle, of now attacking the core essence of the Constitution.
He characterized efforts to “alter the Preamble” as a “dangerous sign” for the democratic spirit of the nation.
In conclusion, Tejashwi Yadav urged citizens to unite in a pledge to protect the Constitution.
He stated that India was forged as a sovereign, socialist, secular, and democratic republic through immense sacrifices, and it is now the duty of every citizen to uphold its unity, integrity, and constitutional values.
Tejashwi’s remarks on Republic Day underscore that the themes of the Constitution and democracy will continue to play a pivotal role in the political dialogue moving forward.
