Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing a gathering in Hisar on Ambedkar's birth anniversary, strongly criticized the Congress party for allegedly disrespecting Dr. B.R. Ambedkar during his lifetime and attempting to erase his legacy. Modi highlighted development initiatives under the BJP government, contrasting them with the performance of Congress-led administrations.

Justice B.R. Gavai emphasized the Constitution's pivotal role in maintaining India's unity and stability over the past 75 years, despite challenges. He lauded B.R. Ambedkar's contribution to uplifting marginalized communities, citing President Droupadi Murmu and PM Narendra Modi as examples.

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has branded the BJP-RSS as «enemies» of Ambedkar, alleging they only offer lip service for political gain. Kharge claimed Ambedkar blamed V.D. Savarkar for his 1952 election defeat and urged PM Modi to read Ambedkar's letter detailing this.

India's political spectrum united to honor B.R. Ambedkar on his 135th birth anniversary, solidifying his position as a universally respected figure. Leaders like PM Modi and Sonia Gandhi paid floral tributes, mirroring celebrations by Ambedkar's followers.
