Shah’s statement on Ambedkar has given Congress an opportunity in Delhi elections! Preparations for an upset with the support of Dalit voters

After Amit Shah’s statement on Ambedkar in Delhi elections, Congress is trying to regain its lost ground with the help of Dalit voters. With more than 10 percent SC voters in 54-55 assembly seats out of 70 in Delhi, this issue can become important in the elections.

• Congress has expectations from Dr. Ambedkar issue, it can cause a big upset in the elections
• The number of SC voters is important in Delhi elections, Congress took out a padyatra against Amit Shah
• Dr. Ambedkar issue can prove to be heavy on BJP, Congress is now seeing it as an opportunity in Delhi

New Delhi: Amidst the uproar over Home Minister Amit Shah’s statement about Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar, Congress is now looking for an ‘opportunity’ for itself in Delhi. The party feels that if the Dr. Ambedkar issue works, it can regain some of its lost ground in Delhi. Party leaders argue that if Dalit voters in Delhi go one-sidedly towards a party, it can cause a big upset in the elections.

In fact, before 2013, Muslim and Dalit voters in Delhi have been proving to be very helpful in the victory of Congress. But after the formation of Aam Aadmi Party, Dalit voters got separated from it to a large extent and Congress became marginalized in Delhi politics. This is the reason why Congress in Delhi also seems to be preparing to make this statement on Dr. Ambedkar an issue.

Elections in Delhi in early 2025

In fact, only a few days are left for the Delhi Assembly elections. The way political bitterness and allegations have increased after the statement on Dr. Ambedkar, it is bound to have an impact on this election. Out of the total 70 assembly areas of Delhi Assembly, there are 54 to 55 assembly areas where there are more than 10 percent SC voters. Therefore, Congress is continuously attacking to keep this issue alive.

The central leadership and local leaders are jointly targeting Amit Shah. On Tuesday, Congress took out a padyatra (foot march) against Amit Shah at the district level across Delhi. Not only this, Congress also termed the announcement of Dr. Ambedkar Samman Scholarship by Aam Aadmi Party as an election announcement of AAP.

A senior Congress leader said that this is an issue which can prove to be costly for BJP. The mathematics of SC voters is also indicating something similar. As per the claim of the Congress leader, this issue is becoming big in Delhi this time. The challenge for us is to reach the people on the ground with this issue, because the mathematics of votes is clearly indicating that if Congress reaches SC voters with this issue, then this time the result can be surprising.
