Hyderabad: Central Minister of State for Home Affairs, Bandi Sanjay Kumar, Chief Minister A. Criticizing Revant Reddy, he claimed that the BJP had come to power three times with the support of Dalits. Sanjay Kumar accused the Congress of insulting Babasaheb BR Ambedkar many times and said the concern shown by the party was nothing more than crocodile tears. He made this comment in a conversation with journalists at the party headquarters in Hyderabad.
Speaking further, the Union Minister said, “If Congress leaders have honored Ambedkar, why didn’t they pay homage at NTR Ghat. It is not who made the statue. Wasn’t it built with government funds? Congress could not win even 100 seats because it lost the faith of Dalits.”
Earlier, while addressing the media on the 100th birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the Union Minister and BJP leader said, “Congress has surpassed Goebbels in spreading lies. If there was an Oscar for spreading lies, it would have gone to Congress.” . From 1954 to 1988, why Congress did not award Bharat Ratna to Ambedkar, despite announcing awards to 21 people including Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi and Kamaraj?
Speaking about the former prime minister’s visionary leadership, Bandi said Vajpayee was a leader who showed the world India’s glory and moral values. He was a source of inspiration for the people of the country. His leadership skills in Pokhran nuclear test, implementation of Golden Quadrilateral project and rural road scheme were significant contributions to the country. Even when leaders of other political parties were ready to support the NDA government in Parliament, Vajpayee stuck to his principles and integrity and lost his post as a result.
