"Congress Ignored BR Ambedkar's Contributions": PM Steps Up Attack | Read

Stepping up the attack on the Congress, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday accused the party of ignoring BR Ambedkar's contribution to the country and always giving the credit to one family. The PM's comments, made during an event to lay the foundation stone of the Ken-Betwa river linking project in Madhya Pradesh, came amid a row over Union Home Minister Amit Shah's remarks on BR Ambedkar, which have attracted criticism from the Congress and other opposition parties. 

Speaking at the event in Khajuraho, PM Modi also said only nations with well-managed water resources can make progress and that Ambedkar's vision played a significant role in strengthening the country's water resources.
