Patna: Union Minister Giriraj Singh has launched a sharp attack on RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, accusing him of insulting Dalit icon Dr. B.R. Ambedkar by allegedly placing a statue of Babasaheb near his feet.
Reacting strongly to the incident, Giriraj Singh said, “RJD Chief Lalu Prasad Yadav has revealed his true mindset towards Dalits… He has insulted Babasaheb Ambedkar. He must apologise to the Dalits of the country for this act of disrespect.”
Escalating his criticism, the BJP leader further demanded a symbolic penance: “Not just an apology—he should go to the banks of the Ganga and repent for his actions…”
The allegation has triggered a fresh political storm in Bihar, especially amid heightened sensitivities around caste respect and Dalit representation in national politics.
