On his 135th birth anniversary, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta paid tribute to the chief architect of the Indian Constitution, BR Ambedkar. Through a post on X, Gupta said that the life and struggles of India’s first Law Minister serve as “an inspiration” to her government’s administrative journey. She also said that under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP-ruled governments in the centre and state are working to uplift the lives of Dalits, Backward Classes, and other marginalised backgrounds.
“Under the guidance of the Honourable Prime Minister Ji, we are working with complete sensitivity to realise Baba Saheb's dream of social justice. Our government considers bringing positive change in the lives of Dalits, backward classes, and the deprived as its utmost priority,” Gupta wrote on X.
Emphasising further, the Delhi Chief Minister mentioned that the Delhi government is working to ensure economic and social empowerment of people belonging to marginalised backgrounds through a range of welfare schemes.
She also said that the BJP government is fulfilling opportunities for modern education for children from deprived sections, in line with Ambedkar’s ‘Educate yourselves’ call.
“We are committed to building an inclusive Delhi in line with Baba Saheb's ideals of equality and dignity, where every citizen gets an equal opportunity to progress,” Gupta wrote on X.
CM PAYS FLORAL TRIBUTE TO BR AMBEDKAR STATUE
