“Different languages, castes, religions are the strength of India. The BJP and family hates Gandhi and Ambedkar. We will carry forward their ideals and expand them across generations,” he added.
He reminded people that safeguarding the Constitution is essential, as it, in turn, will protect the rights and dignity of all citizens.
The Chief Minister emphasized that ideological victories matter more than electoral wins. He pointed to his government’s policies designed to fulfill the values of Gandhi and Ambedkar, noting, "We have injected over ₹52,000 crore directly into people's accounts, strengthening the financial foundation of the state’s citizens."

Seoul (AP): South Korea will hold a snap presidential election June 3 to replace recently ousted President Yoon Suk Yeol, the country's acting leader Han Duck-soo announced Tuesday.
The announcement came days after the Constitutional Court removed President Yoon Suk Yeol from office over his ill-fated imposition of martial law in December.
Deep political polarisation will likely shape the June 3 election, expected to be a two-way showdown between the two major political parties: Yoon's conservative People Power Party and its chief liberal rival, the Democratic Party.
The focus of attention is on whether conservatives can regroup and field a strong candidate to compete against the likely Democratic candidate, Lee Jae-myung.
It will be an uphill battle for the governing People's Power Party to hold on to power it struggles to restore public confidence and heal a severe internal division triggered by Yoon's martial law stunt.
