ITANAGAR, 14 Apr: The state BJP celebrated the 135th birth anniversary of Bharat Ratna Dr BR Ambedkar at its office here on Tuesday, in the presence of MLAs, morcha heads, state office bearers, karyakartas, and others.
Addressing the gathering as the resource person, advocate Chorpok Modi highlighted that the BJP is the only political party in India that truly follows and implements the vision and ideals of Dr Ambedkar.
“Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the country’s development trajectory is guided by the dreams and vision of Babasaheb Ambedkar,”he said.
He stated that Dr Ambedkar remains a strong pillar of Indian democracy, and his global recognition was further strengthened, notably when the 125th birth anniversary of Dr Ambedkar was commemorated at the United Nations headquarters in New York on 13 April, 2016.
IMC Mayor Likha Nari Tadar, state BJP vice president Tarh Soping, and general secretary Junty Singpho also addressed the gathering.
The speakers said that the Congress party had historically failed to adequately recognise and honour the immense contributions of Dr Ambedkar, including the delay in conferring the Bharat Ratna upon the architect of the Indian Constitution.
They further stated that the vision of ‘Viksit Bharat’under the leadership of Modi, which aims to transform India into a developed nation by the 100th year of independence in 2047, reflects the aspirations envisioned by Dr Ambedkar. The BJP, they asserted, is moving in the right direction to realise this goal.

He called upon everyone to honour the legacy of DrAmbedkar and to walk the path of equality, justice, and progress, besides working collectively towards a future built on dignity and unity.
