Sonia Gandhi has also paid rich tributes to BR Ambedkar on his 130th birth anniversary, saying that Congress has always emphasised on the establishment of an egalitarian society.

“The Congress is always striving towards achieving the path shown by Bhim Rao Ambedkar of building a strong nation where every citizen progresses without discrimination. Today, when the thinking of conservatism and discrimination is trying to weaken the society, the Congress party is always conscious that every section of the country should progress equally and without discrimination, we all together build a strong nation. This is the unshakable path of Baba Saheb," she said in her message.
