Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused Congress of undermining BR Ambedkar’s legacy, calling the party’s actions a "rotten ecosystem" of insults towards the Constitution’s architect. Amid Congress’s demand for Home Minister Amit Shah’s resignation over his controversial remarks on Ambedkar, Modi highlighted Congress’s "sins," including denying Ambedkar a Bharat Ratna and orchestrating his electoral defeats. Modi contrasted Congress’s history with BJP’s initiatives empowering SC/ST communities. Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge condemned Shah’s remarks, accusing him of insulting Ambedkar, and led protests in Parliament. Modi defended Shah, calling Congress’s outrage "theatrics" over their exposed record of ignoring Ambedkar's vision.
