LUCKNOW: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday said that the nature of Congress has always been anti-Ambedkar and anti Constitution.
“Dr Ambedkar was the great son of India”, the CM said, adding that the history of Congress has been to keep Dalits deprived. The then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru did not want Baba Saheb to be a part of the Constitution Committee. In the UPA government, Baba Saheb’s picture was shown being whipped by Nehru, he added.
At a press conference at his official residence, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that Congress had defeated Baba Saheb in the elections.
Congress did not want Baba Saheb to go to the Lok Sabha. Congress never allowed a memorial to be built after Baba Saheb’s death, the CM said.
He said while resigning, Baba Saheb had accused the Congress that Congress and Nehru are concerned about Muslims, not the deprived-Dalits. Baba Saheb, who led the movement for the deprived and Dalits, was not made a member of any committee of the Lok Sabha, he observed.
Yogi Adityanath said that Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar had a great contribution in the country’s freedom movement, Constitution making and independent India. He was a great son of Mother India. He acquired higher education in adverse circumstances while facing all kinds of social constraints. He earned the world’s best degree in the field of economy and law. He used all his strength to enlighten India with his knowledge, he added.
The CM said that the Prime Minister of the UPA government had also said that Muslims have the first right on the country’s resources.
The CM asked whether the deprived and Dalits do not have the right? Samajwadi Party has a history like Congress. Baba Saheb Ambedkar’s name was removed from the college named after him in Kannauj. His name was removed from Saharanpur Medical College, he said.
What the super CM had said about Baba Saheb during the SP government is not hidden from anyone. Rahul Gandhi should tell whether an attack on a BJP MP in Parliament will be considered constitutional?
He said that we all know that Baba Saheb had a big contribution in the country’s freedom movement and constitution making. He said that Indians respect Baba Saheb as the architect of the Indian Constitution. BJP has worked honestly to build the India of Baba Saheb’s dreams.
Yogi Adityanath said that whether it was the government of revered Atal ji or the BJP government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, everyone respected Baba Saheb and showed respect and reverence towards him. The places associated with Baba Saheb were made Panch Teerth. His memory has been made alive forever. he said that in the NDA government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Dalits and the deprived have become a part of the government’s plan.
