Shimla (Himachal Pradesh) [India], January 17 (ANI): The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) organised a state-level program of the "Samvidhan Gaurav Abhiyan" (Constitution Pride Campaign) in Shimla on Friday, highlighting the importance of Dr B R Ambedkar's contribution to the nation and the constitution.

Union Minister Jitendra Singh while addressing the gathering said that the Congress exploits Ambedkar's legacy for vote bank politics.

He stated, "The Congress leaders, who have always neglected Dr Ambedkar socially and politically, are now pretending to embrace his ideals merely to secure their vote bank. To further their political agenda, Congress and its 'toolkit gang' are distorting statements of senior BJP leaders to create division in society. The Congress, desperate due to repeated electoral defeats, has stopped tarnishing even the sanctity of democratic institutions for their divisive and hateful politics. Such actions by Rahul Gandhi and his associates are condemnable."
