|December 30, 2024
Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh on Sunday said that his party will start 'Jai Bapu, Jai Bhim, Jai Samvidhaan' campaign to demand the resignation of Union Home Minister Amit Shah over his alleged disparaging remarks against Babasaheb Ambedkar.
The campaign was announced after the Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting on 26 December. But the campaign is extended due to Congress' 7-day mourning for former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
