Prakash Ambedkar’s invite to Rahul Gandhi sparks talk of VBA joining INDIA

Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA) leader Prakash Ambedkar’s invite to Congress MP Rahul Gandhi to attend the ‘Samvidhan Samman Mahasabha’ to be held in Mumbai on November 25 has sparked speculation of the VBA joining the Opposition I.N.D.I.A. bloc.

On Tuesday, Mr. Ambedkar, grandson of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar who headed the committee which drafted the Indian Constitution, lavished fulsome praise on Mr. Gandhi while inviting him to participate in the VBA’s ‘Samvidhan Samman Mahasabha’ to be held later this week in Mumbai’s Shivaji Park. The rally is to be held a day before Constitution Day (‘Samvidhan Divas’) observed annually on November 26 to commemorate adoption of the Constitution in 1949.
