Congress & CPI made Bhimrao Ambedkar lose the poll in 1952: BJP
BJP MP Anurag Thakur said that Congress laid the foundation of electoral corruption in the very first election of 1952. "Congress and CPI together defeated Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar, a constitution maker and...saint-like leader, in the election...74,333 votes were rejected," he said. "Congress ensured that a constitution maker, a Dalit leader, was eliminated in the very first election," he added.
