Narendra Modi Slams Congress: Prime Minister Narendra Modi strongly reacted to the controversy surrounding Home Minister Amit Shah‘s remark on Br Ambedkar in Rajya Sabha, accusing the Congress of a systematic attempt to diminish the legacy of the Dalit icon. PM Modi called out the Congress party for what he described as “malicious lies” and a history of disrespecting Ambedkar and the SC/ST communities.
Congress’s Dirty Tricks Against Ambedkar’s Legacy
In a scathing statement on X (formerly Twitter), PM Modi defended Amit Shah’s remarks, stating that the congress’s criticism was part of a larger pattern of hypocrisy.
“If the Congress and its rotten ecosystem think their malicious lies can hide their misdeeds of several years, especially their insult towards Dr. Ambedkar, they are gravely mistaken!” PM Modi wrote.
“The people of India have seen time and again how one Party, led by one dynasty, has indulged in every possible dirty trick to obliterate the legacy of Dr. Ambedkar and humiliate the SC/ST communities,” he added.
“The list of the Congress’ sins towards Dr. Ambedkar includes: Getting him defeated in elections not once but twice, Pandit Nehru campaigning against him and making his loss a prestige issue, denying him a Bharat Ratna, denying his portrait a place of pride in Parliament’s Central Hall,” PM Modi wrote.

PM Modi’s Charge Against the Opposition
The Prime Minister didn’t stop at recalling historical grievances. He also attacked the congress for failing to empower marginalized communities during their rule.
“Congress can try as they want but they can’t deny that the worst massacres against SC/ST Communities have happened under their regimes. For years, they sat in power but did nothing substantive to empower the SC and ST communities,” he added.
Amit Shah’s Remark Sparks Parliament Uproar
The controversy began when Home Minister Amit Shah made a sharp remark about the Congress invoking Br Ambedkar’s name during his address in the Rajya Sabha. Shah, speaking during a two-day discussion on 75 years of the constitution, accused the congress of using Ambedkar’s name for political gains.
“Abhi ek fashion ho gaya hai – Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar. Itna naam agar bhagwan ka lete to saat janmon tak swarg mil jata (It has become a fashion to say Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar, Ambedkar. If they had taken God’s name so many times, they would have got a place in heaven),” Shah said.
This statement sparked a backlash form the congress leaders, who accused Shah of disrespecting Ambedkar and his contributions to the constitution.
