The PM also used the remarks made by the Congress' South Goa candidate to attack Rahul Gandhi.
Seizing on the remarks by the party's South Goa candidate, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has hit out at the party and Rahul Gandhi, accusing them of insulting BR Ambedkar's Constitution and attempting to break the country.
Addressing a public meeting on Monday, Congress's South Goa candidate Viriato Fernandes had said the Indian Constitution was "forced" on Goa after its liberation from Portuguese rule and that he had said as much to senior party leader Rahul Gandhi ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
Referring to the remarks, PM Modi said at a rally in Chhattisgarh's Mahasamund on Tuesday, "The Congress's Goa candidate is saying that the Constitution of India does not apply on the state. He has clearly said the Constitution was forced upon Goa and that he had said this to Congress' 'shahzada' (prince) in the past."
