Mamata Banerjee insulted B R Ambedkar by paying tributes to him while wearing slippers: BJP's Shehzad Poonawalla

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has accused former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of disrespecting B R Ambedkar. A video purportedly shows her paying floral tributes to the Dalit icon while wearing footwear. The BJP claims this highlights the Trinamool Congress's alleged anti-Ambedkar stance and vote-bank politics. BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla shared a short video clip on X, and said "insulting" Ambedkar has become the identity of the Trinamool Congress.
