Asking the people to fight superstition and give maximum education to their children, Modi said these were the two main things required for development.
Ambedker's slogan of “education, unity and struggle” was very valid now, he said, adding, “getting justice is not begging, but is the right of every citizen”.
Criticising the past about 60 years rule in the country, he said “many things which has to be done had not been carried so far. I think it is my fate to carry out those things which have been left out by the governments in the last 60 years”.
One such thing is installation of a memorial for Ayankali, social reformer from Kerala, in the premises of Parliament, he said.
Significant presence at the function was the leader of Sree Narayana Paripalana Saghan, an organisation of powerful Ezhava community, Vellapalli Natesan.
Natesan in his address praised Modi's development work at Gujarat and said “Modi, who came from a backward community, proved that persons from backward also could provide a good governance.”
