Shah said, “During the discussion in Parliament, it was proved how the Congress opposed Baba Saheb Ambedkar. Even after Baba Saheb’s death, the Congress tried to make fun of him. As far as giving Bharat Ratna is concerned, Congress leaders gave Bharat Ratna to themselves many times. Nehru gave Bharat Ratna to himself in 1955, Indira Gandhi gave Bharat Ratna to herself in 1971. But Baba Saheb Ambedkar got Bharat Ratna in 1990, when Congress was not in power and there was a BJP-supported government. Nehru’s hatred towards Ambedkar is known to everyone.”

Kharge ji, you will remain there for 15 years. Your dream of me resigning will not be fulfilled.”
