Congress will turn this country into an Islamic nation if it comes to power: BJP's Ajay Alok

Patna (Bihar) [India], October 27 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party national spokesperson Ajay Alok on Monday accused the Congress of wanting to turn India into an Islamic nation. He claimed that the inclusion of the word 'secularism' in the Constitution by the 42nd Amendment in 1976, under the Congress rule, was the first step in this direction.
"They have changed the Constitution many times. The Constitution has been changed 90 times under Congress's rule... If they had their way, they would change the Constitution and turn it into an Islamic nation," Ajay Alok told ANI.
"This is a state election, so they can't change the Constitution. But if they come in the national elections, and even to the state, they will change the Constitution as well. The first step to make this country an Islamic nation was when secularism was inserted in the Constitution. The next step is to turn this country into an Islamic nation. And after that, democracy will end," he added.
Meanwhile, Union Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) election in-charge Dharmendra Pradhan criticised the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and the Congress party, describing their administration as rife with corruption and nepotism.
He emphasised that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is set to achieve a significant electoral victory and is expected to designate Nitish Kumar as the Chief Minister of Bihar.
Speaking to ANI, he said, "His family ruled Bihar for decades. Their ally, the Congress Party, ruled the country for three generations. During their time, corruption, nepotism, and causing suffering to the people were their policies. Those who created Jungle Raj in Bihar are today dreaming of bringing the moon, sun, stars, and the Himalayas to Patna, which is never going to happen because they lack credibility. The people of Bihar have completely rejected such hypocrites. For the past 20 years, the people of Bihar have consistently blessed the NDA."
Pradhan further said, "This time too, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bihar's popular Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, the NDA will once again achieve a landslide victory..."
Voting for the 243-seat Bihar Assembly will be held in two phases on November 6 and 11, with the results declared on November 14.
The main contest is between the ruling Chief Minister Nitish Kumar-led NDA and the RJD-led opposition alliance 'Mahagathbandhan.' NDA includes the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Janata Dal (United), Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) and Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLM).
Mahagathbandhan, led by Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD, includes Congress, the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) (CPI-ML) led by Deepankar Bhattacharya, the Communist Party of India (CPI), the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPM), and Mukesh Sahani's Vikasheel Insaan Party (VIP).
Additionally, Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj is also in the race. (ANI)
