In a heated exchange, Karnataka's IT Minister Priyank Kharge has condemned Union Home Minister Amit Shah for his contentious comments on B R Ambedkar. Kharge argued that Shah's philosophy is devoid of equality, emphasizing that Ambedkar's ideals bring political, social, and economic equity.

Addressing the media, Kharge expressed his belief that invoking Ambedkar's legacy leads to a life of self-respect. He criticized Shah for allegedly ignoring Ambedkar's teachings, asserting that Shah's ideology starkly contrasts with the growing influence of Ambedkar's and Basava's philosophies.
