A political slugfest broke out between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress on Saturday over grand-old-party leader Udit Raj\u2019s remark comparing Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi to Dr BR Ambedkar.<\/p>\n

The BJP said the such remarks are an insult of Dalits as well as of the social reformer.<\/p>\n

What Udit Raj Said?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Congress leader, inspired by Rahul Gandhi\u2019s yesterday address at the Bhagidari Nyay Sammelan,\u00a0<\/em>claimed that the latter will prove to be the “second Ambedkar” for the Other Backward Classes (OBCs) if they listen to what he said during the address.<\/p>\n

He further said that the OBCs must support the statements made by the Lok Sabha LoP.<\/p>\n

In a post on X on Saturday, Raj said, \u201cOBCs (Other Backward Classes) will have to think that history does not give opportunities for progress again and again. They should follow and support what Rahul Gandhi said at the Talkatora Stadium conference. If they do so, then Rahul Gandhi will prove to be the second Ambedkar for them.”<\/p>\n

BJP Criticises<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Following Udit Raj\u2019s post, the BJP traded barbs at the grand-old-party for allegedly insulting Babasaheb Ambedkar.<\/p>\n

BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya accused the Congress of hatching a conspiracy to diminish Ambedkar\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n

\u201cCongress is now worried about finding another Ambedkar. But the country knows how Congress betrayed Dr Ambedkar and repeatedly insulted him, which is recorded in history, ” Malviya said.<\/p>\n

He further took a swipe at Rahul Gandhi and said that he can \u201cnever become anything, except a historic failure. The question is \u2014 why isn\u2019t Congress searching for another Nehru? Because this effort is a conspiracy to diminish Dr Ambedkar\u2019s legacy and greatness, And as for Rahul Gandhi \u2014 he can never become anything, except a historic failure,” he added.<\/p>\n

BJP Spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla said the Congress was talking about a second BR Ambedkar when it never respected the \u201coriginal” one.<\/p>\n

\u201cInsulting Dalits and BR Ambedkar has become the Congress\u2019 identity\u2026 Who insulted the \u201coriginal” Ambedkar? Who did not bestow the Bharat Ratna on him? Who did not let his Constitution be implemented in Jammu and Kashmir? Who spoke about Muslim reservation? Who said reservation is bad\u2026 Jawaharlal Nehru,” Poonawalla said.<\/p>\n

What Rahul Gandhi Said?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

On Friday, Rahul Gandhi acknowledged that not conducting a caste census during the UPA government was a mistake, and said he was determined to correct it.<\/p>\n

While speaking at the \u2019Bhagidari Nyay Sammelan<\/em>\u2019 of OBC at Talkatora Stadium in Delhi, he said that he failed to understand the issues of the OBCs earlier, unlike those of Dalits, tribals, and women, where he claimed the Congress had done commendable work.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think about my work, where I did well and where I fell short, and I see two to three things. Land Acquisition Bill, MNREGA, Right to Food, Tribal Bill, and Niyamgiri struggle \u2014 all these things I did well. As far as the issues of tribals, Dalits, and women are concerned, I should get good marks there. I did good work,” he said.<\/p>\n
