November 26 to be observed as ‘Samvidhan Divas’: PM Narendra Modi

Prime Minister Modi also said that the country can not move forward by neglecting the Dalit and other backward communities and appealed to the political parties to abstain from exploiting them for petty political gains. When I entered parliament, I vowed to work for the poorest.

Criticising Congress, Mr. Modi said rumours are spread about BJP that it will end reservation each time an election comes. The picture of Ambedkar was put only after a non-Congress government came to power in 1990. His observations thus seemed aimed as much at attracting criticism as at attempting to appropriate one more Congress icon, Ambedkar, after Sardar Patel. That’s why I respect Dr. Ambedkar. He should have personally invited NCP president Sharad Pawar who had championed the cause of Indu Mills. “In greater than 6,000 villages, over one lakh “jal sanchay” (water conservators) have been arrange for the good thing about the farmers, which got here at a price of Rs 1, four hundred crore”, PM Modi stated. “It happened during Vajpayee Ji’s tenure and it is happening now”. But his govt. collapsed and the new govt’s agenda was different. He emphasized the importance of port-led development for the economic development of the country and the success of the Make in India initiative. “But, just a few months after assuming power, we laid the foundation stone for the memorial today”. Jayprakash Narayan fought the battle against Emergency to give the the democratic rights that Dr. Ambedkar had provided us.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said that November 26, the day Constitution was adopted, will be observed as “Samvidhan Divas” (Constitution Day) as a step towards spreading awareness about the life of its chief architect B.R. Ambedkar. What is Chaityabhoomi?It is the site of Ambedkar’s last rites.

At Mumbai airport, he was received by Maharashtra Governor Ch Vidyasagar Rao and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. A memorial for Dr. Ambedkar at the 12.5 acre compound in West Dadar had been the longstanding demand of various Dalit groups.

Speaking on the delay in building the memorial to Ambedkar in Mumbai, Modi said, “The plan of building Ambedkar’s memorial at Indu Mills faced a deadlock for 15 years when the previous government failed to set it up”. The Prime Minister will address a public meeting at the MMRDA Grounds in Bandra-Kurla Complex, Mumbai.
