Union Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya stated that Ambedkar Jayanti is now celebrated in 125 countries, including at the United Nations, crediting Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s global vision. He emphasized the government's commitment to Ambedkar’s ideals of social equality, women's empowerment, and poverty eradication.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will observe Ambedkar Jayanti Pakhwada from April 14 to 25 across all booths, mandals, and districts. Former Assembly Speaker Prem Prakash Pandey emphasized that the party will organize community outreach events, including discussions, fruit distribution, and booth-level celebrations, particularly in SC-dominated areas. Highlighting BJP's ideological commitment to national development, he stated that unlike socialist models that failed due to leadership flaws, BJP's sustained growth stems from its Jan Sangh roots and disciplined workers. The event also saw the honoring of newly elected representatives and ministers.
On the 135th birth anniversary of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh pays tribute to his unparalleled legacy, calling for a broader recognition of Ambedkar not just as a Dalit icon but as a visionary reformer and nation-builder. From championing social justice and democracy to laying the foundation of key institutions like the RBI, Dr. Ambedkar’s contributions span across fields. Singh highlights Ambedkar’s unwavering nationalism, deep intellect, and ethical vision while urging citizens to embrace his ideals beyond caste, language, or region. He affirms the government’s commitment under PM Narendra Modi to realizing Ambedkar’s dream of a just and developed India.
