LUCKNOW: Dalit icon BR Ambedkar’s carved busts and statues dotting large swathes of Dalit hamlets and villages, will be washed, cleaned and offered floral tributes on his 131st birth anniversary on Thursday.
Carried out by BJP workers, the exercise marks the saffron outfit’s bid to reinforce its pro-Dalit positioning, days after it stormed to power for the historic second term in the recently concluded UP polls.
