Rahul Gandhi arrives in Mhow; pays tribute to BR Ambedkar

Continuing his campaign of reaching out to less privileged sections, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday arrived in Mhow, the birthplace of Dr B R Ambedkar around whose work and ideology struggles of the suppressed classes are centred.

The visit is a prelude to the Congress' plans to celebrate the 125th birth anniversary of the Dalit icon next year in a grand way and come closer to the community, which was once its vote bank.

He will address a public meeting in the afternoon and interact with Dalit leaders and activists. He will speak on Ambedkar's thought at a seminar and interact with intellectuals and activists of Dalit and tribal community.
