Bengaluru, Dec 24 (VOICE) The Congress, which has repeatedly insulted Dr Ambedkar, has no moral right to use his name, said Dr P. Sudhakar Reddy, BJP’s co-in charge in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.Speaking to the media at Jagannath Bhavan in Bengaluru on Tuesday, he remarked that Congress leaders were in despair after their defeats in Maharashtra and Haryana states.
He criticized the Congress for using Babasaheb Ambedkar’s name to protect their leaders despite insulting Dr Ambedkar by defeating him twice in the Lok Sabha elections. “The Congress government in the state has completely failed. They have not implemented the five guarantees properly and are imposing both official and unofficial taxes,” he said.
“Ambedkar, the architect of the Constitution, opposed the division of the nation and was against the imposition of Article 370. He criticized the Congress for declaring a state of emergency and turning the country into a jail. Congress is engaging in vote-bank politics,” he said.
Reddy accused Congress of trying to tarnish the reputation of Union Home Minister Amit Shah but asserted that the people of the country have faith in both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Amit Shah. He stated that Congress is once again using Dr Ambedkar’s name for political purposes, but people are aware of the true nature of Congress.
He credited Amit Shah with exposing Congress’ wrong policies to the public and praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for tirelessly working toward a self-reliant and Independent India.
He further criticized Congress for being unable to accept a man from a humble background serving as the Prime Minister for over 10 years and targeted Rahul Gandhi for disrespecting their own UPA former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
