“BJP Has Consistently Spoken Proudly Of Ambedkar, Not Just On That Occasion,” Says VCK Chief Thirumavalavan Acknowledging BJP’s Efforts In Honoring Ambedkar’s Legacy

Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) chief Thirumavalavan has acknowledged the BJP’s efforts in honoring Dr BR Ambedkar and projecting his legacy positively. In an interview with a private TV channel, Thirumavalavan stated, “It is true that the BJP is doing a commendable job in honoring Ambedkar.” He also highlighted the party’s initiatives across various states in promoting Ambedkar’s ideals and legacy.

During the interview, the discussion turned to recent controversies in Parliament, including the Congress’ propaganda that Amit Shah had disrespected Ambedkar. When VCK chief Thirumavalavan was asked to comment, he acknowledged that the first 12 seconds of Amit Shah’s speech could be seen as controversial due to the comparison to God. However, he emphasized that beyond that, the BJP has consistently worked to project and uphold Ambedkar’s legacy.

Thirumavalavan stated, “They have consistently spoken proudly of Ambedkar, not just on those occasions but throughout. That is the fact. In Alipore road, they established an international memorial center at the place where he once lived. In addition to the grand statue, they have built a structure resembling a constitution, designed like an open book, which is very beautiful and meets international standards. Similarly, Ambedkar’s ashes are kept in Mumbai by the Arabian Sea. Initially, the memorial was small, but now they are expanding it by acquiring one and a half acres of land and constructing a 433-foot statue for Ambedkar.”

He further added, “They have also located and purchased the place in London where Ambedkar stayed during his studies and converted it into a memorial today. All these efforts are truly commendable and will bring great joy to Ambedkar’s followers.”
