Paying tributes to Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar on his death anniversary, Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati said failure of successive governments in the country in converting the Constitution's ideals into ground reality for people's welfare is sad and worrying. The former Uttar Pradesh chief minister said Ambedkar would receive a befitting tribute only when the people who are deprived of livelihood, justice and peace get their rights.

2. देश की सरकारें काश उस संविधान के पवित्र उसूलों के तहत कार्य करती तो यहाँ करोड़ों गरीब व मेहनतकशों को काफी मुसीबतों से कुछ मुक्ति मिल गई होती। संविधान के आदर्श को ज़मीनी हकीकत में बदलकर लोगों के अच्छे दिन लाने की ज़िम्मेदारी में विमुखता व विफलता दुखद, चिन्तनीय।
