Chief Minister Shri Bhupesh Baghel participated in the Bhoomi Pujan program organized by the Urban Administration Department for the installation of the new statue of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar at Ambedkar Chowk in the capital Raipur. On this occasion, MLA Mr. Kuldeep Juneja, Mayor Mr. Ejaz Dhebar, Chhattisgarh Yoga Commission Chairman Mr. Gyanesh Sharma and public representatives were present.
While addressing the gathering, Chief Minister Mr. Baghel said that on the day of Ambedkar Jayanti, it came to light that the present statue of Baba Saheb has become very old and broken, hence a new statue should be installed in its place. This responsibility was given to the Municipal Corporation, the Corporation floated a tender for it, completed the process and the statue is also now under construction. Today the Bhoomi Pujan of the idol installation work is being done, on this occasion I congratulate all of you and best wishes.
The Chief Minister said that in the present times, we can take the society and the country forward by following the path shown by Baba Saheb. The Constitution he has given us is the biggest strength for all the countrymen. Under this Constitution, we all have got rights and many freedoms. Now, if an attempt is made to weaken the Constitution, it will be an attempt to weaken the countrymen, which will also weaken the country. Considering the Constitution as supreme, it is the responsibility of all of us to protect the Constitution because this Constitution makes all of us empowered.
