Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal wrote letters to Nitish Kumar and Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday, the two key leaders of the ruling NDA, urging them to deeply reflect on Union Home Minister Amit Shah's remark on BR Ambedkar. 

In the letter, shared by Kejriwal on X, the former Delhi Chief Minister said people feel that those who love Ambedkar cannot support the BJP that "insulted" the architect of India's Constitution urging them to ponder over it. 

The Union Home Minister's remark on Babasaheb was not only "disrespectful" but also revealed the BJP's perspective towards him and the Constitution, Kejriwal said in the letter to the Chief Ministers of Bihar and Andhra Pradesh. 

बीजेपी ने संसद में बाबा साहेब का अपमान किया है। लोगों को लगता है कि बाबा साहेब को चाहने वाले बीजेपी का समर्थन नहीं कर सकते। आप भी इस पर विचार करें।

"The statement made by Shah in Parliament regarding Babasaheb has left the entire nation stunned. His remark that 'chanting Ambedkar-Ambedkar has become a fashion these days' is not only disrespectful but also reveals the BJP's perspective towards Babasaheb and our Constitution," Kejriwal stated. 

Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal-United and N Chandrababu Naidu's Telugu Desam Party are key constituents of the ruling National Democratic Alliance at the Centre led by the Bharatiya Janata Party. 

"How can the BJP dare to make such a comment against Babasaheb, the Constitution's architect and champion of marginalised rights? This has hurt the sentiments of millions of people across the country," the AAP chief said. 

"Babasaheb is not just a leader but the soul of our nation. After this statement by BJP, people expect you to deeply reflect on this issue as well," Kejriwal implored Kumar and Naidu in the letter.
