Congress vs BJP Over Amit Shah's BR Ambedkar Comment Escalates
The fight between the BJP and the Congress over BR Ambedkar has escalated. Stepping up its campaign against Union Home Minister Amit Shah for his comment that it has become a "fashion" for the Congress to use BR Ambedkar's name every now and then for political benefits, the Congress is holding countrywide press conferences and "Ambedkar samman (respect)" marches in the next few days. Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi said, "It has become a fashion for the BJP to blame Nehru, Rajiv Gandhi and Congress leaders of the past. They use this tactic whenever they have no response on pressing issues of today's India."
