Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister Priyank Kharge, to a question on Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s recent remarks on B.R. Ambedkar in Parliament, said it was as if the BJP leader was “bitten by a rabid dog”.

Mr. Kharge said, “I don’t know whether or not one can go to heaven after each of the seven lifetimes after chanting god’s name. I can, however, firmly say that one can get a life of dignity and self-respect in this very lifetime if one embraces Ambedkar’s principles.”
