**TIRUPATI, Andhra Pradesh (December 19, 2024):** The Congress party in Andhra Pradesh launched a protest today demanding the resignation of Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The protest, held at the Ambedkar Circle in Tirupati, follows alleged derogatory remarks made by Shah about Dr. B.R. Ambedkar.

Congress leaders, including Tirupati district president Goudaperu Chitti Babu, staged a blindfolded demonstration, condemning the BJP’s actions as “fascist” and accusing the party of attempting to incite caste and religious tensions. They criticized the BJP for allegedly attempting to exploit Ambedkar’s legacy while simultaneously undermining his image through offensive statements.

Speakers highlighted the perceived contradiction between the BJP’s public praise of Ambedkar and their alleged denigration of the Dalit community through Shah’s remarks. The party asserted that these comments revealed the BJP’s true intentions and called for Shah’s immediate removal from the Union Cabinet. The protest underscores the ongoing political tension surrounding the issue.
