PM Narendra Modi recently slammed political parties for politicising the legacy of Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar while stating that no government had honoured Babasaheb like his government had.

PM Modi said, “Everyone rushes to do politics in the name of Ambedkar but the works decided upon by the Atal government were never completed.”

He added, “I am delighted to tell you that on April 13, a day before the birth anniversary of Babasaheb Ambedkar, that house, 26, Alipur Road (the house where Ambedkar passed away) which is complete will also be inaugurated.”

 “Probably no other government would have given that much regard and tribute to Babasaheb Ambedkar which the present government has given. Hence, instead of dragging Babasaheb into politics, if we try to walk on the path shown by him, in which fraternity (bandhuta) is most important, we can move ahead,” he said.
