A 12-foot bronze statue of the architect of the Constitution Dr BR Ambedkar was unveiled on the premises of Town Hall here on Monday, marking the 135th birth anniversary of the iconic leader.
TAKING a dig at the BJP's "Bhiima Hejje" programme to commemorate the centenary of Dr BR Ambedkar's visit to Nippani in Karnataka, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said those who follow "Manuvaada" are acting as if they have a huge respect for the architect of the Constitution.
"They are the ones who opposed implementation of the Constitution in India," he said during an Ambedkar Jayanthi programme at Vidhana Soudha here on Monday.
The CM said Ambedkar himself admitted that Savarkar was the reason he lost polls. But the BJP leaders are trying to mislead people by saying that the Congress was the reason for Ambedkar's loss in polls.
