Only the Bharatiya Janata Party raised their voice in their favour,” he added.Taking potshots at the Congress, the chief minister alleged that the grand old party denied Dr B R Ambedkar, the architect of the Indian Constitution, a memorial and did not allow his last rites to take place in the national capital.”First they (apparently pointing towards the Congress) made Babasaheb Ambedkar lose the elections.After his ‘mahaparinirvaan’, they did not allow his last rites to be performed in Delhi.The Congress also did not allow his memorial to come up,” said Adityanath.”In 1976, they brought an amendment in the Constitution and inserted a word against which Babasaheb had himself given arguments,” he added addressing a workshop here held under ‘Bharat Ratna’ Babasaheb Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar Samman Samaroh.”Until we present the correct facts before people, those who have been misleading people to serve their own political interests will continue to exploit the Dalits and the deprived by misleading them and creating chaos in the country,” said Adityanath.”Such people will keep climbing the political ladder. They will keep depriving the Dalits and poor. Therefore, the BJP state workshop is being organised here with an action plan,” he added.Giving details of the campaign launched to remember Dr Ambedkar on the eve of his birth anniversary, the chief minister said, “Wherever there is a statue of Babasaheb Ambedkar, wherever there is a park in his name, today the workers of the BJP, public representatives and government officials are joining the special cleanliness program there.” Adityanath said the BJP governments have in the last 10 years under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership “worked to provide benefits of the government’s scheme to every deprived, every Dalit, every poor, every woman, every farmer”.”Our problem is that we are not able to repeat those things again and again, we try for some time to reach the people who have got the facility and then that effort stops,” he said, adding this will be expanded in the campaign.Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak said, who was also present on the occasion, said Baba Saheb gave the right to vote to the deprived and backward.
