Ys Jagan carried Ambedkar’s ideals forward; TDP regime insulting Constitution and destroying social justice

Tadepalli, Dec 6: At the YSR Congress Party Central Office in Tadepalli, senior YSRCP leaders paid rich tributes to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar on his death anniversary. Speaking after offering floral homage, party leaders asserted that it was former Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy who truly carried forward Ambedkar’s vision during his five-year tenure by ensuring justice, equality, and dignity to every community without discrimination. They recalled that the previous government invested Rs. 400 crore to construct the 125-ft Ambedkar Statue and a dedicated Smrutivanam in the heart of Vijayawada so Ambedkar’s ideology could inspire future generations. In sharp contrast, they said, the present TDP-led coalition government has been systematically dismantling every reform introduced under Jagan, weakening institutions, destroying the education system, and pushing poor children away from quality education. Leaders condemned the government for replacing the Constitution with a “Red Book rule,” leading to a complete breakdown of law and order.

YSRCP leaders strongly criticized Chandrababu Naidu for acting out of political spite, removing the plaque at Ambedkar Smrutivanam immediately after coming to power and refusing even to visit the site for 18 months. They demanded that the plaque be restored by January 26, warning that any new plaques put up by the current government would be removed once YSRCP returns to power. They accused Chandrababu of insulting Ambedkar by proposing a larger NTR statue only out of jealousy for Jagan’s monumental contribution, stating that Ambedkar does not deserve to be dragged into petty political rivalry. Leaders reiterated that it was Jagan who upheld Ambedkar’s spirit by ensuring welfare based on eligibility, empowering women and the marginalised, and establishing true social equality. They emphasized that only with YS Jagan’s return as Chief Minister can the people of Andhra Pradesh regain freedom, equality, and constitutional governance.
