Fadnavis accuses Opposition of conspiracy to question Constitution by discrediting constitutional institutions

Mumbai, Oct 6 (UNI) Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday accused the opposition INDIA bloc here of working to question the Constitution of India by discrediting autonomous institutions, which draw their powers from the Constitution.
“The opposition is systematically working to deliberately create confusion among the people of the country. The original plot of the opposition is to discredit the autonomous institutions established by the Constitution and, by doing so, to directly question the Constitution itself,” Fadnavis said here on Tuesday.
Fadnavis made the statement, reacting to the ‘Save Democracy’ march organised by MPs of 19 opposition parties in New Delhi, demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Dyanesh Kumar and against the alleged manipulation of voters’ lists.
Commenting on the aggressive moves being made by opposition parties in the national capital, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said, “The opposition is deliberately spreading misunderstanding in the country regarding the action of the Delhi Police. The Election Commission is an autonomous institution created by the Constitution. The opposition is hatching a conspiracy to defame the country’s democratic system by attacking the credibility of these constitutional institutions”.
“It is highly condemnable to slander constitutional institutions for political gain while the Election Commission is working as per its rules,” Fadnavis said.
