On Kanshi Ram’s birth anniversary, a chorus of opposition voices echoed across social media, celebrating the architect of Dalit empowerment and social equity. Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge set the tone with a poignant tribute that underscored the enduring impact of Kanshi Ram’s work.
In his X post, Kharge portrayed Kanshi Ram as a great social reformer who historically united the oppressed sections of society and secured them honorable positions in Indian politics. The fight for social justice owes much to his relentless efforts, which Kharge said would inspire generations.
Echoing similar sentiments, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra remembered Kanshi Ram as the champion of equality, whose movements breathed new life into constitutional values. Her message resonated with the ongoing need for his visionary ideas in contemporary politics.
BSP’s Akash Anand marked the day as the biggest festival for followers, vowing to carry forward the Bahujan movement. He lambasted rival parties for misappropriating Kanshi Ram’s principles and rallied support for BSP’s mission to gain political mastery under Mayawati.
Mayawati’s earlier homage painted Kanshi Ram as the life force behind BSP, who tirelessly struggled to realize Ambedkar’s dreams. She called for mass participation in the movement to translate constitutional safeguards into reality through electoral strength.
These tributes not only honor a towering figure but also signal the opposition’s intent to invoke Kanshi Ram’s ideals amid intensifying political battles, reminding voters of the roots of social justice in India’s democracy.
