Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah criticized Union Minister Amit Shah's comments on B R Ambedkar in Parliament, suggesting Shah would be a 'ragpicker' without Ambedkar's Constitution. Siddaramaiah called for Shah’s suspension from the House, emphasizing the disrespect for Ambedkar’s legacy.

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has intensified his criticism against Union Minister Amit Shah following Shah's contentious comments on B R Ambedkar in Parliament.

Siddaramaiah boldly claimed in the Assembly that if not for Ambedkar's Constitution, Shah would have ended up as a 'ragpicker'. He further accused the Rajya Sabha Chairman of failing to suspend Shah, suggesting a lack of adherence to constitutional duties.

Shah, during a heated debate in the Rajya Sabha, remarked that repeatedly invoking Ambedkar's name has become fashionable and compared it to how obsessively mentioning a deity's name could ensure a heavenly afterlife.
