In Shajapur, BJP Parliamentary Board member Dr. Satyanarayan Jatiya addressed a gathering, emphasizing Dr. Ambedkar's significant contributions to social justice and national unity. He also criticized Congress for not fully supporting Dr. Ambedkar’s efforts, particularly in the 1952 Lok Sabha elections when Dr. Ambedkar lost by a narrow margin in the Bombay North seat. Dr. Jatiya further highlighted the BJP government’s initiative to develop the Panchteerth (five important sites associated with Dr. Ambedkar) under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

In Ratlam, Deputy Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Shri Jagdish Devda, praised Dr. Ambedkar for his efforts to uplift all sections of society.

In Datiya, Former Deputy Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh and BJP leader Shri Dinesh Sharma spoke about the importance of Dr. Ambedkar’s work in creating social harmony and his role in laying the foundation for constitutional rights in India. He noted that the BJP has made consistent efforts to bring Dr. Ambedkar's dreams to fruition, ensuring that the marginalized sections of society benefit from his vision.

In Chhindwara, Former Union Minister and BJP MP Shri Faggan Singh Kulaste highlighted the BJP-led government's commitment to fulfilling Dr. Ambedkar’s vision for an equitable and just society.

Aja Morcha National President Shri Lal Singh Arya, speaking at a seminar in Sagar, emphasized that Dr. Ambedkar’s vision of an egalitarian society, free from discrimination, is being pursued by the BJP. He criticized the Congress for treating Dalits as a vote bank, alleging that the party had not done enough for their empowerment.

The discussions focused on Dr. Ambedkar's lasting influence on India's constitutional and social frameworks. Leaders across the various locations also expressed their commitment to preserving his principles and ensuring that India remains true to the values of equality, justice, and social harmony that Dr. Ambedkar championed.

While the BJP leaders expressed their admiration for Dr. Ambedkar’s vision, they also used the platform to highlight their belief that the Congress party has not adequately supported Dr. Ambedkar’s legacy or fulfilled its promises towards social justice. The BJP continues to emphasize its role in bringing Dr. Ambedkar's vision to life through various schemes and national policies.
