BJP, RSS planning to remove ‘socialist', ‘secular' from Constitution, says Rajasthan Cong chief
His remarks come in the wake of a much discussed comment by RSS second-in-command Dattatreya Hosabale advocating that the words 'secular' and 'socialist' in the Preamble of the Constitution be reviewed. He said public attention is being diverted from important issues through such tactics to 'polarise'. Jaipur, July 2 (PTI) Rajasthan Congress president Govind Singh Dotasra on Wednesday launched a sharp attack on the BJP and RSS, accusing them of planning to remove 'socialist' and 'secular' from the Constitution. Congress leaders have slammed the BJP and the RSS over Dattatreya's comment while Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar and Union minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan have spoken in support of his demand. Speaking at the state Congress headquarters here on Wednesday, Dotasra said, 'They (BJP-RSS) have never accepted the Constitution and democracy. Now they have decided to remove socialism and secularism from it.' 'When Dr BR Ambedkar drafted the Constitution, these people burned its copies. RSS had never even accepted the national flag. Today, when people are asking the prime minister questions on real issues, BJP and RSS are trying to distract them by communalising the debate.' He said that people have understood such tactics and will not be misled by them. Dotasra also targeted the BJP government in Rajasthan over the controversial sub-inspector recruitment case, claiming double standards. 'When our government was in power, they said that 400 sub-inspector posts were fake. But now in power, they haven't cancelled the recruitment and are telling the high court they can't cancel it,' he said, alleging that the so-called cabinet sub-committee decisions merely reflect the chief minister's will. Dotasra further alleged that the BJP has used the Kanhaiyalal murder case in Udaipur and the so-called 'Red Diary' controversy to mislead voters before the last election. Criticising governance under the BJP, Dotasra claimed officers in Rajasthan were being forced to do 'non-important' work instead of focusing on their departments, and blamed excessive review meetings by the chief minister, which he said undermines the administration's efficiency.

Who is Samik Bhattacharya, Bengal BJP's new president? What are the challenges for him?
Jul 02, 2025 10:50 PM IST Samik Bhattacharya, a senior leader and Rajya Sabha MP, is set to become the new president of the West Bengal Bharatiya Janata Party, as no other candidate filed nomination for the post till the deadline on Wednesday. Rajya Sabha MP Samik Bhattacharya (2nd from left) files his nomination for the post of West Bengal BJP president in the presence of Union MoS and current state party chief Sukanta Majumdar, LoP in the West Bengal legislative assembly Suvendu Adhikari and others in Kolkata on Wednesday. (ANI) Accompanied by outgoing state president Sukanta Majumdar and Leader of the Opposition in the state assembly Suvendu Adhikari, Samik Bhattacharya submitted his nomination papers at the party's office in Salt Lake in the afternoon. Samik Bhattacharya is an old Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh worker. He tasted his first electoral success in 2014 when the BJP had no seat in the Bengal legislative assembly. He won the Basirhat South assembly seat for the saffron camp for the first time in a bypoll. BJP leaders said Bhattacharya's ascent marks the importance of RSS in Bengal in the run-up to the crucial 2026 assembly election. A senior BJP leader told Hindustan Times that the central leadership chose Bhattacharya because of his strong oratory skills and wide acceptability among both old and new BJP workers. With Bhattacharya as president, the rivalry between various groups and some state leaders is likely to end. Bhattacharya will take over the reins of the state unit at a critical juncture with the 2026 assembly election less than a year away. Bhattacharya's key challenges will include ensuring better coordination between the party's organisational and legislative wings and unifying the various factions within the state BJP. Another major task ahead for him is countering the TMC's consistent attempt to brand the BJP as 'anti-Bengali' and an 'outsider party', a narrative that has gained traction in past elections. Political observers feel it is to be seen how Bhattacharya, known for his articulate communication style and long-standing association with the BJP and RSS, navigates these hurdles. In the 2021 assembly election, the BJP had won 77 seats. Since then, the tally has come down to 65, with 12 seats lost either due to by-polls caused by the demise of MLAs or defections to the ruling TMC. (With inputs from Tanmay Chatterjee in Kolkata)

Samik only candidate, set to be BJP's new Bengal prez
1 2 Kolkata: Rajya Sabha member Samik Bhattacharya was the only candidate to submit a nomination for elections to the post of Bengal BJP president, almost sealing the outcome. Accompanied by Bengal leader of opposition Suvendu Adhikari and incumbent party president Sukanta Majumdar, Bhattacharya submitted his nomination at the party's Salt Lake office on Wednesday. Bhattacharya flew down to Kolkata from New Delhi on Wednesday morning to submit his nomination. On Monday, he had met BJP national president JP Nadda at his residence in New Delhi. On Thursday, party workers and functionaries will gather at a programme at Science City, and the party's new state president is likely to be formally announced. "A party president changes, and the baton is handed over. It's a continuous process. The principles of the party remain the same," Bhattacharya said.

He was state general secretary of BJP's youth wing for over a decade. "During his stint in BJYM, Bhattacharya was a key person to maintain coordination between RSS and ABVP," said a Bengal BJP neta. He was a state general secretary of the party for three consecutive terms and also a national council member. Bhattacharya became an MLA in 2014 when he won the Basirhat assembly bypoll. He was able to wrest the seat from CPM, and pushed BJP's vote share from 4% in 2011 to 33.5% in 2014. During his stint as a lawmaker, Bhattacharya was able to garner acceptance across communities. "He is one of the very few party netas who still don't use personal guards," said a Bengal BJP senior. Bhattacharya, however, would probably have to give up that habit now. Known for his erudition in multiple subjects, Bhattacharya has often been a crisis manager as BJP's state spokesperson. The soft-spoken Bhattacharya has also often been chosen to speak at public forums. He was also a key member of the global outreach team following Operation Sindoor. "Bhattacharya is well accepted by party veterans as well as the newcomers. He has constantly been working as a bridge between the old and the new. He has travelled to every district and has close contact with party workers. Even if it involved Dilip Ghosh or Sukanta Majumdar, Bhattacharya was always the person to resolve differences," said a neta.
