The confrontation came amid the faceoff between the central government and the opposition INDIA bloc that have accused each other of having shown disrespect to Ambedkar.

After Shah’s comment about Ambedkar during a speech in the Rajya Sabha was dubbed as an “insult” to the country’s first law minister by the Opposition, Kejriwal shot off a letter to Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader and Andhra Pradesh chief minister Chandrababu Naidu and JDU’s Kumar to rethink their partnership with the BJP. Both the TDP and the JDU are part of the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA), led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

In his letter, Kejriwal said people feel that those who love Ambedkar cannot support the BJP that “insulted” the architect of India’s Constitution and urged Kumar and Naidu to ponder over it.
