Lucknow, Apr 10: After converting government buildings, offices and even residences, the Yogi Adityanath-led BJP government in Uttar Pradesh has coloured Dalit icon Dr B R Ambedkar saffron.
A statue of Dr Ambedkar, which was recently vandalised in Badaun district, has been rebuilt, but with a change. 
Instead of his usual suit, Ambedkar has now been dressed in a prince suit, which is saffron in colour.
The statue was vandalised on April 7 by unidentified miscreants in Dugraiya village in Kunwargaon area of Badaun. It led to protests in the area and the administration replaced with another status of Ambedkar brought in from Agra.
Most of Dr Ambedkar statues in UP are blue in colour , the official colour of the Bahujan Samaj Party(BSP) led by Mayawati. Though no official or BJP leaders are ready to say anything on the change of colour of the statue.
A senior BJP leader said here on Tuesday that the party has nothing to do with the colour of the statue but on the other also defended that why such objection on saffron colour as it represents the Indian culture and is even in the country's flag.
After the Yogi Adityanath government came to power one year ago, several government buildings, offices and residences have been painted saffron. This includes the CM office and official residences of couple of state ministers. 
Recently, the UP government had sounded high alert over the vandalisation of the Ambedkar statues in different parts of the state. The opposition political parties and the BJP are at the loggerheads over the Dalit issue in the country particularly in UP just before the 127th birth anniversary of Dr Ambedkar on April 14. 
In another recent row in the name of the father of the Constitution, the UP government last month decided to change the official name of Ambedkar by including his middle name Ramji. As per the decision, all official correspondence with his name would carry it as Dr Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar. This was done on the recommendation of Governor Ram Naik.
But some political parties and Dalit organisations are opposing it saying that BJP was trying to do politics with the name of Dr Ambedkar. UNI

Remembering Babasaheb Ambedkar, he said, "there are two places in Delhi, which are associated with Dr Ambedkar on whom the then Atal Bihari Vajpayee Government had made crucial decisions. ‘‘It was our government that got the opportunity to work on them and pay tributes to Dr Ambedkar.’’ Mr Modi added.
“We are walking on the path shown by Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar. At the core of Dr Ambedkar's ideals is harmony and togetherness. Working for the poorest of the poor is our mission,” he added further.
Congratulating the LS Speaker Sumitra Mahajan for the step, Modi said, “Usually, work of Speaker is seen in the context of her presiding over the House. However, what we are marking through this programme shows the compassionate nature of Speaker Sumitra Mahajan Ji. She is always thinking about the well-being of the MPs.”

New Delhi, Mar 25 : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday made a veiled attack on the Congress for allegedly trying to stall the northbound career graph of B R Ambedkar by stating that there were were many people around that time to stop his growth.
"Aisa bhi hua jab bahut logon ne Dr Ambedkar ka mazak uraya, unhe peecchey karne ki koshish ki
(There came a time, when people mocked at Dr Ambedkar, they tried to prevent his coming up the ladder), Mr Modi said in monthly radio broadcast Mann-Ki-Baat programme making a reference to Dr Ambedkar's birth anniversary that falls on April 14.
Without taking names, Prime Minister lamented that there were attempts by a section of people then to prevent this "son of the poor family" to achieve something big in life.
But he said, "India is grateful to Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar for his vision for irrigation and port development" at a time when people in the country were hardly focused about road development only.
"Dr Ambedkar was the first person who saw Jal Shakti - importance of water - as a link to Rashtra Shakti (strength for country's growth and development)," Mr Modi said.
He said in contrast to the treatment meted out even to the likes of Dr Ambedkar - when poor and socially backward people were discriminated against - the 'New India' as envisioned by his government offers a totally different picture.
"The 'New India' vision offers a different scenario altogether. This will be a India which would belong to all the poor people, will belong to Ambedkars and backwards," he said and pointed out at the elaborate arrangements being made by the BJP and the government to observe 'Gram Swaraj Abhiyan' from April 14 to May 5 as a mark of tribute to Dr Ambedkar and also highlight various welfare measures for the uplift of the poorer and neglected sections.
