Ambedkar row: Amit Shah bitten by “rabid dog,” says Karnataka minister

KALABURAGI: Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge on Saturday lashed out at Union Home Minister Amit Shah over his remarks on B R Ambedkar and alleged that he was “bitten by a rabid dog”.

Addressing reporters here, the Minister for Information Technology and Biotechnology said, “I don’t know whether I will get a place in Heaven if I chant the name of God in seven births but by chanting the name of Ambedkar in this birth we will get political, social, economic equality and a life of self-esteem.”

Taking a dig at the Union Home Minister, Kharge said his problem is that Ambedkar and equality are not in his thoughts. These things are missing in his philosophy and ideology.
