“No, this question has not been raised,” TASS quoted him as saying.

Earlier, the president held a meeting with the leaders of the fractions of the State Duma, during which he discussed with them the work on preparing proposals for amendments to the Constitution of Russia.

During the meeting, Putin noted that amendments to the Constitution are in demand, since the situation in Russia has changed dramatically.

The head of state also said that the responsibility for violations during the April 22 vote on constitutional amendments will be the same as in the presidential election. According to him, he instructed to make appropriate changes to the Administrative and Criminal Codes.

RT led the live broadcast of the meeting.
