HYDERABAD: When the Telangana Legislative Assembly passed a resolution asking the Center to name the new Parliament building after Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the BJP faced criticism for its members' absence.

On Wednesday, some Dalit activists protested in Hyderabad against the BJP for not taking a position on the motion in the Telangana Assembly.

The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), which is in power, has slammed the BJP because one of its members was present in the Assembly when the motion was moved and passed.

While Eatala Rajender, a party colleague, was expelled from the House for making offensive comments about the Speaker, Raghunandan Rao was not in the Assembly. Third BJP legislator Raja Singh is presently incarcerated.
The request to rename the new Parliament building after Ambedkar has been forwarded to the Union government, according to state BJP president Bandi Sanjay Kumar, who made the announcement on Wednesday.

Sanjay claimed that he has conveyed the request to name the Central Vista after Ambedkar based on the justification offered by balladeer Gaddar.

A day after the Telangana Legislature overwhelmingly passed a resolution asking the Center to rename the new Parliament building after Ambedkar, the BJP leader tweeted his appeal.

After Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR)  received a plea from Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, the TRS government moved the resolution. The chief minister said that Ambedkar was the ideal figure to honour with the name of the new Parliament building.

K.T. Rama Rao (KTR), the working president of the TRS, hoped that the BJP-led NDA government will grant the proposal. "The Telangana State Legislature voted overwhelmingly to name the new Parliament after Bharat Ratna Dr. BR Ambedkar Ji. It is appropriate to honour the Chief Architect of the Indian Constitution by naming the highest habitation of democracy. hoping for a favourable response from the NDA government, "In a tweet, Rama Rao

In a meeting with MLAs D. Sreedhar Babu and Seethakka on Tuesday, Gaddar praised the Congress for ensuring that the Assembly passed a resolution. He also thanked CLP leader Bhatti Vikramarka.

Gaddar claimed that Vikramarka was instrumental in persuading the chief minister to approve the resolution. He argued that comparable resolutions ought to be approved by all of the national Assemblies.
