No party or leader can change Constitution's salient features: Gadkari

Union minister Nitin Gadkari on Friday stressed that the "salient features" of the Constitution of India such as secularism and fundamental rights can not be changed by any party, leader or even Parliament.

The Congress' claim that the BJP was planning to change the country's founding document was baseless, he said.

The opposition party, when it was in power, had amended the Constitution many times, the BJP leader said, speaking at a campaign rally for the ongoing Lok Sabha polls in Maan tehsil of western Maharashtra's Satara district.
