Claim
The opposition brought the same 'Constitution in danger' narrative in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and during CAA, but no one lost their citizenship and the Constitution was not changed; now the same narrative is being deployed before the UP elections.
“वो याद है आपको 2024 का लोकसभा चुनाव उसमें भी यही लाया था। सीएए में भी यही लाया था। लेकिन ना किसी की नागरिकता गई ना संविधान बदला लेकिन उत्तर प्रदेश के चुनावों से पहले एक बार फिर वही दुकान लाई लगाई गई।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Each checkable component holds: the opposition did run a 'Constitution/Samvidhan in danger' narrative in the 2024 Lok Sabha campaign and around the CAA; the CAA only grants citizenship and has no provision to remove it, so no one lost citizenship because of it, and no constitutional amendment gutting rights was enacted; and as of the 2 July 2026 broadcast the same narrative was being revived by the opposition ahead of the 2027 UP assembly polls (The Week, 25 June 2026). The framing that this is merely a reopened electoral 'shop' is political opinion rather than fact, which is why confidence is not higher, but the factual assertions in the statement are supported by the evidence.
