Ambedkar Jayanti
PM Modi today 14 April, on the Kerala New Year ‘Vishu’ and Dr.Ambedkar Jayanti addressesed a gathering amidstb laying of foundation stone and inauguration of various development projects, in Yamuna Nagar, Haryana
PM Modi accused the Congress party of reducing the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and OBCs into “second-class citizens” while in power. His accusation came on the birth anniversary of social reformer and chief architect of Indian Constitution
Dr B R Ambedkar.
PM Modi was addressing a rally in Hisar after laying foundation stone for a new terminal building at Majaraja Agrasen Airport worth over Rs 410 crore and flagging off a flight to Ayodhya.
Launching an all-out attack on the Congress, Modi said that the Congress party’s opposition to the Waqf (Amendment) Act, benefitted only a few “extremists” while leaving the rest of the community neglected, uneducated and impoverished.
He also said that if the Congress truly cared for the Muslim community, the party would have appointed a Muslim as their party president or allocated 50 per cent of tickets during elections to Muslim candidates.
He further went on to state that the new provisions will honor the sanctity of Waqf, ensuring that the rights of poor and Pasmanda Muslim families, women, and children are upheld. He affirmed that this reflects the true spirit of the constitution and genuine social justice.
Adding that the Constitution talks about a secular civil code, but Congress never implemented it. Today, uniform civil code has been implemented in Uttarakhand.
Unfortunately, the Congress is opposing this. He criticized the Congress for its treatment of Ambedkar, stating that while he was alive, they insulted him, orchestrated his electoral defeats twice, and conspired to exclude him from the system. He also remarked that after Babasaheb’s passing, the party also attempted to erase his legacy and suppress his ideas. He showcased that Dr. Ambedkar was the protector of the Constitution, whereas they became its destroyer. And that while Dr. Ambedkar aimed to bring equality, Congress spread the virus of vote-bank politics in the country.
Modi remarked that Ambedkar envisioned a life of dignity for every poor and marginalized individual, enabling them to dream and fulfill their aspirations.
Criticizing the Congress rule amidst which the SC, ST, and OBC communities faced significant barriers, with even access to banks being a distant dream, the Prime Minister said that insurance, loans, and financial assistance were mere aspirations for them. He highlighted that under the BJP government led by him, the largest beneficiaries of Jan Dhan accounts are from SC, ST, and OBC communities. He proudly noted that today, these individuals confidently showcase their RuPay cards, symbolizing their financial inclusion and empowerment.
Reiterating his promise that even those wearing slippers would fly in airplanes, a vision now being realized across the country, Modi highlighted that in the past ten years, millions of Indians have experienced air travel for the first time.
He noted that new airports have been built even in areas that previously lacked proper railway stations, sharing that before 2014, India had 74 airports, a number achieved in 70 years while today, the number of airports has surpassed 150.
He emphasized that nearly 90 aerodromes have been connected under the UDAN scheme, with over 600 routes operational, enabling affordable air travel for many.
Concluding that Hisar Airport will elevate the aspirations of Haryana’s youth, providing them with new opportunities and dreams.
