BR Ambedkar's ideals reflect in PM Modi's initiatives: Tripura CM Manik Saha

Tripura CM highlights Modi's welfare schemes as reflections of BR Ambedkar's vision for social equality and economic empowerment.

"PM Modi has brought the poor under banking services to eliminate middlemen interference – Manik Saha"

Agartala, April 29

Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha on Monday said that Dr BR Ambedkar, the key architect of the Indian Constitution and the country's first Law Minister, was a pioneer in building a socially equal India.

Saha said this while addressing a State Level Seminar on the 135th Birth Anniversary of Dr BR Ambedkar at Rabindra Shatabarshiki Bhawan.

"We have observed the birth anniversary of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar on April 14. When the first Union Cabinet was formed, he was the Law Minister. He worked against hatred, malice, and insult, and he was a different person. He worked for the oppressed people, and in 1990, he was conferred the Bharat Ratna. For many years, the then government didn't confer it on him intentionally. He was behind the formation of the Indian Constitution", Tripura CM said.

He said that to ensure the fundamental rights and financial stability of the people, many proposals were made by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar.

"He wanted to make this country free from exploitation. He also said everyone has to work for the development of the country. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar stressed the development of industries and agriculture for the growth of the country and states. He worked tirelessly against superstition. As he did such things, we are here and living together. The upcoming generations should know more about him and about his contribution to the country. We must be well aware of history", he said.

CM Saha said that everyone can see the thoughts and ideals of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar reflected in the works of PM Modi.

"PM Modi has brought the poor people under banking services so that there should not be interference by middlemen. PM Modi has also brought the Mudra Yojana, and through that, ST, SC, and women are benefiting. PM Modi is also working to make women self-reliant. Even our state government has also introduced many schemes for backwards class people, SC, and others," he added.

In the event, MP Rajib Bhattacharjee, Paschim Tripura Zilla Sabhadhipati in charge Biswajit Shil, West Tripura District Magistrate Dr. Vishal Kumar, Scheduled Caste Welfare Department Director Jayanta Dey, and other prominent persons were present.

It's heartening to see leaders recognizing Ambedkar's vision. His contributions to social equality were truly revolutionary. 🙌 We need more discussions like this to educate younger generations.

While I appreciate the sentiment, I think we should be careful about drawing direct parallels between historical figures and current politicians. Ambedkar's work stands on its own merit.

The banking inclusion schemes have really helped my village! For the first time, my grandmother has her own bank account. Small steps towards Ambedkar's dream of financial equality.

Would love to see more concrete data on how these schemes are actually benefiting SC/ST communities on the ground. Announcements are good, but implementation matters more.

As a teacher, I make sure to include Ambedkar's life story in our history lessons. Children need to know about his fight against caste discrimination. This article gives good talking points!

Interesting perspective from the Tripura CM. Regardless of politics, we can all agree that Ambedkar's vision for India was ahead of its time. His emphasis on education remains crucial today.
