Tejashwi Yadav, Leader of the Opposition in the Bihar Assembly and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader, has criticised Union Home Minister Amit Shah following his controversial remarks about B.R. Ambedkar, widely regarded as the architect of India’s Constitution.

Speaking to media persons on Wednesday, Tejashwi condemned Home Minister Shah’s comments as “highly objectionable” and alleged that they reflected the BJP and RSS’s larger agenda.

The RJD leader also accused Home Minister Shah’s remarks of revealing the BJP and RSS’s true intentions, citing the “17 seconds” of the latter’s statement as particularly telling.
