Ambedkar's statue unveiled

Special Correspondent

Floral tribute: Dr. B.R. Ambedkar's statue was unveiled at Ashokapuram
Park in Mysore on Thursday.

MYSORE: A statue of B.R. Ambedkar was unveiled at Dr. Ambedkar Park in
Ashokapuram here on Thursday by Mayor Purushottam.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Purushottam lamented that the principles
and thoughts of Dr. Ambedkar were not being followed. This was
reflected in the failure of the socio-economic development of the
depressed class and socially backward communities in the country, he
said.

Mr. Purushottam described Dr. Ambedkar as a visionary who did not
belong to any particular community. He was a national leader whose
principles should be imbibed by the people, he said.

V. Srinivas Prasad, MLA, stressed the need for converting the Ambedkar
bhavans into centres of learning.

Mysore City Corporation Commissioner K.S. Raykar, corporators Byrappa,
Pushpalatha Chikkanna, and Sunanda Palanetra were among those present.
