On Monday, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge accused the Modi government of offering mere lip service to B R Ambedkar’s legacy, while failing to uphold his wishes. He labeled the BJP-RSS as antagonists of the Constitution’s architect.
Kharge condemned Prime Minister Narendra Modi for criticizing Congress’ treatment of Ambedkar, referencing a letter by Ambedkar that accused S A Dange and V D Savarkar of causing his 1952 electoral defeat.
Speaking on Ambedkar’s birth anniversary, Kharge highlighted the need for a nationwide caste census and the implementation of reservations for SCs, STs, and OBCs in private educational institutions, underscoring Ambedkar’s role in providing social, economic, and political justice via the Constitution.
