Months Before UP Election, President Lays Foundation Stone For Ambedkar Memorial

UP government's move to build a memorial dedicated to iconic Dalit leader Dr BR Ambedkar - the architect of the Indian constitution - is politically significant with an Assembly election due in just a few months

President Ram Nath Kovind on Tuesday laid the foundation stone for a memorial in the name of iconic Dalit leader Dr BR Ambedkar that will be built in Lucknow by the Uttar Pradesh government. 2. बीएसपी परमपूज्य बाबा साहेब डा. अम्बेडकर के नाम पर कोई केन्द्र आदि बनाने के खिलाफ नहीं है, परन्तु अब चुनावी स्वार्थ के लिए यह सब करना घोर छलावा। यूपी सरकार अगर यह काम पहले कर लेती तो मा. राष्ट्रपति जी आज इस केन्द्र का शिलान्यास नहीं बल्कि उदघाटन कर रहे होते तो यह बेहतर होता। 4.इसी का परिणाम है कि दलित व पिछड़ों के लिए आरक्षित लाखों सरकारी पद अभी भी खाली पड़े हैं तथा इनके संतों, गुरुओं व महापुरुषों के नाम पर यूपी में बीएसपी सरकार द्वारा निर्मित विश्वस्तरीय भव्य स्थलों व पार्कों आदि की घोर उपेक्षा पिछले सपा शासनकाल से ही लगातार जारी है जो अति-निन्दनीय। The function took place virtually, with Governor Anandiben Patel and Chief Minister Adityanath, as well his his two deputies, among those in attendance. The UP government's move to build a memorial dedicated to the architect of the Indian constitution is politically significant with an Assembly election due in just a few months. President Kovind, whose hometown is in Uttar Pradesh , is the second Dalit President of India and is currently on a three-day visit to the state. Today is the third day.
