The Congress is more interested in ‘Baba Bhole’ than DR BR Ambedkar these days, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday, in a veiled jibe at Rahul Gandhi who has been visiting temples as part of his poll campaign in Gujarat. The Congress vice president has visited over a dozen temples in the poll-bound state even as the critics accused the party of playing “soft Hindutva” card.
Dedicating to the nation Dr Ambedkar International Centre in New Delhi, the Prime Minister said “a particular family” -- an indirect reference to the Nehru-Gandhi family-- wanted to erase the contributions of Ambedkar who drafted India’s Constitution and was the first law minister of the country.
