The Congress party is intensifying its campaign against Home Minister Amit Shah's recent comments about Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. They plan to hold nationwide press conferences and marches to honor Ambedkar and demand Shah's resignation. Congress leaders will conduct 150 press conferences on December 22 and 23, followed by marches on December 24. This response aims to revive concerns about the BJP's stance on reservations in government jobs and education. The Congress is also seeking to unite opposition allies in this effort. They hope to challenge the BJP's commitment to reservations, especially with upcoming elections in Bihar, where this issue could impact both the BJP and its allies.
