CHENNAI, January 8, 2025 – Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) founder Thol. Thirumavalavan accused the Sangh Parivar of embracing B.R. Ambedkar solely to prevent Dalits and Adivasis from voting for the Congress or converting to other religions. Speaking at a Nehru-Ambedkar event on Tuesday, Thirumavalavan argued that the BJP’s strategy aims to maintain its support base and prevent further erosion to the Congress party.

N. Ram, Director of THG Publishing Private Limited, emphasized the crucial role of the INDIA bloc in opposing the BJP and urged for greater cooperation within the alliance.
