MUMBAI, 13 AUGUST, 2024 (TGN): The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) will organise a ‘Constitution Reading’ campaign across Maharashtra on Independence Day at the party’s main office and at each district office after the flag hoisting ceremony, said NCP State President and MP Sunil Tatkare during a press conference today.
During the Lok Sabha elections, questions were raised regarding the Constitution. The Constitution of India is the soul of the nation. We firmly believe in secularism and ethics. And because of this firm belief, NCP has decided to launch a preamble campaign across the state to convey this message, clarified Tatkare.
This country belongs to all religions. Just like the Gita, Ramayana, Bible, and Quran are dear to us, so is the Constitution. Therefore, under the leadership of Ajit Dada, we will be organizing a Constitution reading on August 15. NCP’s National President Ajit Dada will lead the event in Pune, I will be at the state office, National Working President Praful Patel in Gondia, senior leader and Minister Chhagan Bhujbal in Nashik, and all senior leaders, ministers, MLAs, district presidents, and taluka presidents will read the preamble of the Constitution, it was further clarified.
In our manifesto for the Lok Sabha elections, the preamble of the Constitution was presented on the first page. We are progressing in our political journey based on the ideologies, principles, and values of Shivaji, Shahu, Phule, and Ambedkar. On this Independence Day, we are taking a unique initiative to further strengthen these values through this Constitution campaign, Tatkare added.
The Jan Sanman Yatra began in the state on August 8. The yatra continued for five consecutive days. On the first day, it went to Dindori, Deola, on the second day to Niphad, Yeola, on the third day to Sinnar, Kopargaon, and on the fourth day to Dhule city, district, and Amalner. This historic Jan Sanman Yatra received unprecedented support from the public. The significant presence of women was also noteworthy, said Tatkare.
Present at the press conference were NCP Regional President Sameer Bhujbal, MLA Shivajirao Garje, State Spokespersons Anand Paranjape and Sanjay Tatkare, and State Youth President Suraj Chavan.
