Nagpur: Congress today accused RSS of vitiating social atmosphere by seeking to scrap reservation to SCs and STs and said it will foil any bid by the BJP and its ideological mentor to alter the Constitution.
"RSS and BJP are almost bent on destroying the crux of the Preamble and Constitution as they don't accept it. All India Congress Committee will foil any attempt by the RSS and BJP to change the Constitution authored by Babasaheb Ambedkar," said Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee president Ashok Chavan, on the eve of party chief Sonia Gandhi and vice president Rahul Gandhi's rally in Nagpur.
Both will participate in the concluding function of the 125th birth anniversary celebrations of Dalit icon BR Ambedkar tomorrow and a rally also has been lined up on the occasion.
Both will arrive on a special flight from Delhi at 3.30 pm tomorrow and directly head to the historic 'Deekshabhoomi' -- where Ambedkar had embraced Buddhism in 1956 -- to pay homage to the architect of the Indian Constitution.
At 5.20 pm, they will drive down to Kasturchand Park where the party is expecting a record turnout of people.
He will interact with striking jewellers in the commercial capital and also visit Deonar dumping ground there where repeated fires have broken out recently raising a health concern for residents.
Former Union home minister Sushilkumar Shinde and the AICC general secretary Digvijaya Singh have already arrived in city.
