On Monday, Bharipa Bahujan Mahasangh President Prakash Ambedkar charged the BJP-controlled Maharashtra government of not arresting right wing leader Sambhaji Bhide after his role at the Bhima-Koregaon incidents.

Addresing the crowd of Dalits and other parties’ activists this evening, Prakash Ambedkar- the grandson of B.R. Ambedkar- said that it is a well-known fact that Modi considers Bhide as his “Guru”.

He said that they have no intentions of fighting Modi but if no actions are taken against Bhide by Maharashtra government then they know how to deal with it as per appropriate time.

Ambedkar was very clear with his thoughts that people are the supreme ones and everyone will have to bow down before the wishes of the people and he said that they know how to make the Prime Minister or Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis bow before the masses.

He clearly said, “If no action is taken against Bhide, and he is not arrested within eight days, we shall chalk out our future strategy. Why should the law not be equal for everybody? If Milind Ekbote can be arrested, what has prevented Bhide's arrest since he is the prima accused in the Bhima-Koregaon incidents.”

Ambedkar also claimed the arrest of Maharashtra BJP chief Raosaheb Patil-Danve for his social media remarks over the Bhima-Koregaon incident. He said that they had given an ultimatum to the Maharashtra government on March 15 to arrest Bhide by March 26, but nothing was done.

Mumbai again witnessed another mass protest of Dalits and other parties led by BBM which choked parts of South Mumbai, to demand Bhide’s arrest for his role in the January 1 caste riots in Bhima-Koregaon.

It would be noteworthy how the government responds to the statement by Ambedkar who has supporters all across the city.
