If the Constitution is changed, there will be bloodshed in the country. PM Narendra Modi is expressing his thoughts through Ananth Kumar," the chief minister added.
Responding to the BJP's statement that Ananth Kumar's statement is personal, the CM asked, "How will the statement of Ananth Kumar, a senior leader who was in the cabinet and a sitting MP, be personal? They have no faith in democracy but intend to implement the principles of Manusmriti."
"Our constitution has the principle of building an egalitarian society, where freedom, equality and fraternity play an important role," he said.
Reacting to Congress' second list for the Lok Sabha elections, he said, "The screening committee meeting is being held today and recommendations will be made. The decision will be taken by the National Election Committee."
