Claim
Under Congress rule the Constitution was amended a total of 62 times — 17 times under Nehru, 28 times under Indira Gandhi, 10 times under Rajiv Gandhi, and about 7 times under the Manmohan Singh–Sonia Gandhi government — meaning Congress has changed the Constitution the most.
“कांग्रेस के शासन में कुल 62 बार संविधान बदला गया। पंडित नेहरू के जमाने में 17 बार संविधान बदला गया। इंदिरा गांधी के शासन में 28 बार संविधान बदला गया। राजीव गांधी के दौर में 10 बार और डॉ. मनमोहन सिंह और सोनिया गांधी वाली सरकार में लगभग सात बार संविधान बदला जा चुका है। यानी जब जिसकी मर्जी हुई उसने संविधान को बदला है और सबसे ज्यादा कांग्रेस ने बदला है।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
The individual counts (Nehru 17, Indira 28, Rajiv 10) match standard amendment tallies, and the core claim that Congress amended the Constitution the most is well-supported: roughly 76 of ~106 amendments were enacted under Congress governments versus ~31 under non-Congress rule. Manmohan Singh's 'about 7' is a slight overcount (closer to 3-6) but is explicitly hedged, and the '62 total' actually understates the full Congress-era count (it omits Narasimha Rao and other Congress PMs), so it does not undermine the conclusion.
