Is making allegations. In this political controversy over the insult of Ambedkar, this time Congress is playing on the front foot while BJP is on the defensive.

Opinion: BJP back on foot after a long time, attack on Ambedkar, saffron party may face heavy losses

Congress got a chance against the government

After the recent controversy related to Ambedkar, Congress and the opposition, which came on the back foot after the elections in Haryana and Maharashtra, have once again cornered the government on the issue of backward and deprived communities of the society. This opportunity has emerged as a golden opportunity for the opposition, in which it seems to be trying to strengthen its allegations where it has been continuously accusing BJP and Sangh of being anti-Dalit, backward and tribal.

That is why during the discussion, Home Minister Amit Shah’s controversial statement regarding Ambedkar came to the fore. Since late evening, the opposition including Congress gathered against it. Not only this, a protest was held in the Parliament premises by the opposition led by Congress on this issue, while an adjournment motion was given against it in the Parliament. There was an uproar regarding this in the Lok Sabha, due to which there was again a deadlock in the House that had been going on for a week.

Ambedkar is revered by the entire country… Modi should dismiss Shah from the cabinet, Kharge attacks BJP
In fact, the way the Congress and the opposition were cornering the Modi government for the last few years, accusing them of alleged attacks on the Constitution, constitutional values ​​and discrimination against Dalits, tribals, backward classes and minorities in the country and trying to create a narrative in the country. The BJP tried its best to destroy it after the results of the recent assembly elections and during the recent discussion on the Constitution in Parliament.

BJP started counting the works related to Ambedkar

Be it the issue of development of places associated with Ambedkar as Panch Teerth by BJP or the issue of installing a giant statue of Ambedkar in Mumbai or the recent claim by Kiren Rijiju regarding Ambedkar that the Modi government has always respected Ambedkar. The matter of following the path shown by PM Modi and working for the welfare of Dalits and the underprivileged, or giving a chance to a Buddhist as the Minister of Minority Ministry, he/she saw the Modi government and the BJP as following Ambedkar’s ideas. But tried to move forward and present them as examples of respect.

Political parties are worried about vote bank

Now, with such statements coming from the Home Minister and a senior leader of BJP like Shah regarding Ambedkar, Congress has got the opportunity to do that the opposition has already been saying that BJP talks about Baba Saheb, but does not believe in his/her ideas. Doesn’t. Be it Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, talking about keeping Manusmriti against Baba Saheb’s Constitution or claiming to conduct a caste census, the opposition is continuously trying to mobilize Dalits, tribals and backward classes. BJP’s ‘If we cut, we will divide’

Kharge Saheb, my resignation will not spoil your pulse… What did Amit Shah say on Ambedkar’s statement in Rajya Sabha?
The opposition has been talking about reservation and caste census in front of the narrative, its thinking also gets strength from the thoughts of Babasaheb and Ambedkar. Therefore, be it Congress or all the regional parties, they are looking at them as their vote bank. The share of these communities in the society is very high, hence the opposition is trying to connect with this community. The strength of this class is also evident from the statement of Amit Shah himself, where he/she had said that you (opposition) talk more about Babasaheb because this community is very large.

BJP, government in firefighting mode

Congress and opposition are aggressive on Amit Shah’s remarks about Ambedkar during the discussion on ’75 years of glorious journey of the Constitution of India’ in Rajya Sabha. On the other hand, BJP is in fire fighting mode. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken charge of the defense of Amit Shah. Modi wrote in a social media post that the Union Home Minister exposed Congress’s dark history of insulting the creator of the Constitution, which has shocked the main opposition party.

he/she said that the Congress and its corrupt ecosystem are making a serious mistake if they think that their malicious lies can hide their years of misdeeds towards the architect of the Constitution, Baba Saheb Ambedkar. Union Minister Kiren Rijiju said that a short clip of Shah’s speech in the Rajya Sabha is being circulated in which what he/she said has been distorted. This is wrong. he/she said that Shah had clearly said that Congress insulted Babasaheb when he/she was alive.

Big leaders of the party also came to the rescue

Rijiju and other ministers of the government and all the BJP leaders are busy calling the opposition’s allegations false. A meeting was also held between Prime Minister Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP National President JP Nadda regarding this, in which it was discussed how to respond to the opposition’s allegations. To respond to the opposition’s allegations, Home Minister Amit Shah himself held a press conference at the BJP headquarters and accused the Congress of distorting the facts.

Nadda, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju, Piyush Goyal, Ashwini Vaishnav were also present with him/her. To show that the entire party and the entire government stand with Amit Shah. PIB i.e. Press Information Bureau fact checked and said that the claim that Amit Shah insulted Ambedkar is misleading and selected parts of the Union Minister’s speech have been wrongly presented in the clipped video. The entire social media team of BJP is busy responding to the allegations of insulting Ambedkar.

Political turmoil over Ambedkar

There was political turmoil across the country regarding the recent statement on Ambedkar. Sharp reactions have emerged from organizations, leaders and political parties from Delhi to different parts of the country. On one hand, Dalit, OBC, Minority and Backward Classes (DOMA) in Delhi strongly protested against this and attacked the BJP and NDA government.

Whereas in Maharashtra, Babasaheb’s grandson and Chief of Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi, Prakash Ambedkar came to the media in Mumbai on Wednesday and said that the BJP leader’s comment on Ambedkar reflects his/her old mentality. Question: Why is there so much ruckus about Ambedkar? In fact, in independent India, apart from Gandhi, Babasaheb Ambedkar is the only icon who has become the biggest symbol and myth as a strong voice for an egalitarian society.

Today no political party can afford to ignore or criticize them. Just as Gandhi is a symbol of truth, tolerance and non-violence in the Indian mind, similarly Baba Saheb has become a symbol of Constitution, equality and human dignity. The society does not accept any kind of criticism against them.
