Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar

Today, the politics of the country are revolving around Dr. Ambedkar. The Congress fought the entire Lok Sabha election in the name of the Constitution and Baba Saheb and when the results came out, the BJP also took up Baba Saheb’s legacy and said that the Congress had always despised Ambedkar PhD.

Why is Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar attractive to all parties?
Dr. Baba Saheb Bhimrao Ambedkar is an inescapable responsibility for everyone, be it the Bharatiya Janata Party, the Congress, the Samajwadi Party of the Philippines, the Samajwadi Party or any other political party. Behind this lies the voting equation. In fact, Dalit politics in the country remains confined to those around Baba Saheb.
The proportion of Dalit population in the country is said to be about 16%, but in many states such as Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Maharashtra, and Bihar, Dalit votes play a decisive role. Dalits also played a role in the Indian bloc’s efforts to hold back the BJP before it secured a majority in the Lok Sabha elections.
Both the BJP and the Congress now understand the political power of Dalits, which is why both parties are taking the help of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar to bring Dalit voters to their side. These parties also understood this and their entire legacy rested on Baba Saheb.
That is why everyone, be it the BSP or Prakash Ambedkar’s Bahujan Vanchit Aghadi, has raised a voice against the Congress and the BJP. Everyone faces the danger of the Dalit vote bank being undermined. Therefore, the Congress and the BJP are trying to win Dalit votes for them through Baba Saheb.
