Indore (Madhya Pradesh) [India], January 12 (ANI): Ahead of Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi’s scheduled visit to Mhow, Madhya Pradesh on January 27, Bharatiya Janata Party Scheduled Caste State President Kailash Jatav slammed the Congress party, saying it “betrayed” Bhimrao Ambedkar twice and they should be asked if they have ever gone to Mhow.
Notably, Mhow also happens to be the birthplace of Bhimrao Ambedkar.
Rahul Gandhi is likely to visit Madhya Pradesh on January 27.
“When Dr Ambedkar was in the Constituent Assembly he gave the opinion that Article 370 should not be implemented then Jawahar Lal Nehru opposed it because he did not want Kashmir valley to become part of the mainland and the constitution becomes adopted there. In 2023, Article 370 was abrogated then the Constitution was implemented there after 75 years. Congress says that they respect the Constitution then why was the Constitution not implemented in Kashmir for 75 years?” Kailash Jatav told reporters.
He said that a Scheduled Caste candidate was able to win the assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir in a “democratic process” for the first time.
“Those who were deprived of their rights for 75 years should ask Congress why they did so. Congress has betrayed Babasaheb twice. Once in Bhandara and in Mumbai during Maharashtra polls. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee and Bhim Rao Ambedkar came from Rajya Sabha and Congress never supported them and they resigned from Congress,” he added.
He further said that when Jawahar Lal Nehru and Indira Gandhi passed away Congress allocated land in Delhi. Similarly, Rajiv Gandhi and Sanjay Gandhi were also given land in Delhi for their burial.
“When Baba Saheb passed away in Delhi he was allocated in Dadar near a mill which was used for used for garbage disposal. When the Devendra Fadnavis government was formed they purchased the Indu mill for Rs 3,200 crore and Babasaheb Ambedkar’s memorial is being built there. All the belongings of Babasaheb were lying and there were termites over it. When BJP’s Dushyant Gautam came to know about this he preserved all his belongings. Baba Saheb was born in MP. For 55 years, Congress was in power in MP. During Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s government, the birth place was renovated,” Jatav said.
He added, “You should ask Congress have they ever gone to Mhow? Congress asks for a vote in his name but they don’t know him. Modi government is playing the role to distribute benefits till the last person in the society,” he said.
The BJP leader further hit out at the Congress over their press conference in Bhopal on Saturday and said that in the press conference Congress said that it empowers the voiceless.
“I wish to ask for whom Congress used the word voiceless? Are the Dalits voiceless? BJP has given President from the the Scheduled Tribe, and SC. Today we are celebrating Constitution Day and the credit goes to PM Modi,” he added. (ANI)
