Ambedkar Jayanti: By crediting Babasaheb for his rise, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has sent a potent message to Dalits

Firstpost  

Speaking at Ambedkar’s 127th birth anniversary in Chhattisgarh’s Dalit-dominated Bijapur, the prime minister sent a befitting reply to the Opposition trying to corner the government by terming it anti-Dalit Speaking at a rally at Bijapur on Saturday, Narendra Modi said that if a poor man’s son from a backward caste has become the prime minister of India, it is because of Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar. Speaking at Ambedkar’s 127th birth anniversary in Chhattisgarh’s Dalit-dominated Bijapur, the prime minister sent a befitting reply to the Opposition trying to corner the government by terming it anti-Dalit. While the government has placed BJP and Dalit leaders to the front to challenge this Opposition narrative, the Sangh has accused the Opposition of spreading lies as well. While on the one hand, the Sangh Parivar has been trying to bring the Dalits along by promising them equal status with its campaign of one well, one temple, one cremation ground, on the other hand, BJP president Amit Shah and other leaders are spreading the message of goodwill by having meals in Dalit homes.
