Kejriwal Criticizes Amit Shah Over Ambedkar Remarks
Meanwhile, Kejriwal took a sharp dig at Union Home Minister Amit Shah for his comments on Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar during a parliamentary session. Kejriwal accused Shah and the BJP of disrespecting Ambedkar and displaying arrogance.
“See how Amit Shah ji is making fun of Baba Saheb Ambedkar in the parliament. These BJP people have become so arrogant that they don’t consider anyone as anything. Yes, Amit Shah ji. Baba Saheb is no less than God for every child of this country. I don’t know about heaven after death, but if Baba Saheb’s constitution was not there, you people would not have allowed the oppressed, downtrodden, poor, and Dalits to live on this earth. India will not tolerate Babasaheb’s insult. Jai Bhim,” Kejriwal declared on X.
