Mahadangal: Will Ambedkar Insult Row Dominate Bihar Elections This Time? BJP vs RJD Heats Up | ABP NEWS

In Bihar’s political battlefield, the debate over Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s legacy has taken center stage, raising questions about whether this issue will influence the upcoming elections. During a recent rally in Siwan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused Congress and RJD of repeatedly insulting Ambedkar. He claimed that while BJP holds Ambedkar in its heart, the opposition has consistently disrespected his ideals. This controversy stems from a photo shared during RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav’s birthday celebration on June 11. The NDA alleged that the image insulted Ambedkar, prompting Bihar’s Scheduled Caste Commission to issue a notice to Lalu. The National SC Commission also questioned the Bihar government’s response to the incident. Tejashwi Yadav dismissed the allegations and accused BJP of being an “enemy of reservations.” However, the bigger question is whether this controversy will affect the RJD’s standing among Dalit voters in an election year. As caste politics continues to shape Bihar’s political climate, the Ambedkar row might be strategically used to polarize votes. With both alliances trying to strengthen their Dalit outreach, the impact of this issue remains to be seen. Will this be a turning point in Bihar’s electoral narrative?
