“Union Pracharak Sangh Commission. India’s Constitution is being demolished, one Institution at a time,” Rahul Gandhi said in his tweet.

Manoj Soni has been appointed as the new chairperson of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). There are allegations from different quarters that he has close ties with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), while the UPSC should be a neutral body.
