Lok Sabha elections | Able to seek third term because of Ambedkar’s Constitution, says PM Modi

It is because of the Constitution made by Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar that the son of a poor is able to seek a third term, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said at an election rally in Madhya Pradesh on Ambedkar Jayanti. 

“Parties like Congress always insulted Baba Saheb Ambedkar. But it is because of the Constitution he made that Modi, son of a poor mother, is seeking your blessings for a third term,” Mr. Modi said as he addressed the crowd at Pipariya in Hoshangabad Lok Sabha constituency on Sunday. 

Referring to President Draupadi Murmu, Mr. Modi said the elevation of a tribal woman to become the first citizen of the country was also made possible due to the architect of the Indian Constitution, Dr. Ambedkar.
