Himanta Biswa Sharma: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sharma termed the Congress as a shameless party using the name of Constitution maker Dr Baba Saheb Ambedkar for political gains. He claimed that the Congress launched countless schemes and established many institutions in the name of leaders from Jawaharlal Nehru's family, but nothing was done in the name of Ambedkar. Sharma said that the Congress has no shame. The party which imposed emergency, suspended the Constitution, killed democracy, the same Congress is taking out processions in the name of the Constitution. He said that it would not be an exaggeration to call the Congress shameless.
Congress is making Ambedkar's ideology and sacrifice its weapon
Himanta Biswa Sharma said that the Congress started the Indira Gandhi Awas Yojana, started many schemes in the name of Rajiv Gandhi and named many big universities of the country after Jawaharlal Nehru. Sharma said that but have you dedicated a single scheme in the name of Babasaheb Ambedkar? Leave aside the university, have you named even a school after him? Sharma said that can anyone tell me whether there was any picture of Ambedkar in Rajiv Bhavan before today? I was in the Congress for 22 years and I did not see any picture of him in Rajiv Bhavan. He said that Ambedkar Jayanti was celebrated in the All India Congress Committee on Tuesday. He wondered when Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi started garlanding Ambedkar's statue or picture. He said that while resigning from the cabinet, Ambedkar had said that the country would not suffer. You gave Bharat Ratna to everyone in the world, but not to Ambedkar. The Chief Minister said that today Ambedkar's memory, ideology and sacrifice have been weaponised to gain political mileage. Such a shameful act has never happened in India before.
