Why Ambedkar issue has got BJP scrambling

India Today  

There are very few leaders who reached the status of a demigod, like Babasaheb Bhim Rao Ambedkar has. On Wednesday, a day after the remark by Shah in the Rajya Sabha, the entire BJP brass, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Shah himself, stepped in to counter the Opposition's allegations of "insulting Babasaheb". AAP Convenor Arvind Kejriwal responded to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's defense of Shah's remarks, saying that Modi's explanation had "rubbed salt to the wound". WHY THE BJP DOESN'T WANT TO BE CORNERED ON AMBEDKAR The Dalits, officially referred to as the Scheduled Castes, form 17% of India's population, according to the 2011 Census, and, thus, a crucial voter segment. It was only after Prime Minister Narendra Modi clarified government's stand on reservation ahead of the third phase polling BJP picked up.
