“The contribution of Dr BR Ambedkar to the construction of a prosperous India is immense. His limitless activities are still complementary to the country's development,” said Minister Dr HC Mahadevappa. 

Presiding over the 134th Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Jayanti and Swabhimani Convention organized by Swabhimagi Vedike in Hunsur, he said, “Ambedkar is the guru of all, the construction of 581 Bakranangal dam, Ninanari and its maintenance, priority for agriculture. Establishment of industries, property rights of women, programs for workers, establishment of Reserve Bank.”

Minister Priyanka Kharge said, “We will install statues of Buddha Basava and Ambedkar. But none of us have adopted their fundamental ideologies. We are not following the provisions of the Constitution. We now need to reflect on our past. Those who sow poison between castes are the real traitors.” 

Former MLA H.P. Manjunath said, Ambedkar should be remembered every day, not just on his birthday. “Ambedkar had said that he would not be in statues, but in books. Whoever calls him, he will participate in the birthday and cooperate,” he said.

State Guarantee Scheme Implementation Committee Vice-Chairman Pushpa Anamarnath, MLC H Vishwanath, Dharmasena, Raja were present in the programme.
