“AMBEDKAR, MODI CAN BE CALLED BRAHMINS, LORD KRISHNA IS OBC” - SPEAKER STIRS CONTROVERSY

Gujarat Assembly Speaker Rajendra Trivedi has stoked a controversy by saying that people like Dr BR Ambedkar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi could be referred to as Brahmins. Speaking at a “Mega Brahmin Business Summit” in Gandhinagar on Saturday, Trivedi further referred to Lord Krishna as an “OBC” who was “made God” by Rishi Sandipani. Trivedi reportedly likened Modi and Ambedkar to Brahmins by “virtue of knowledge”.
