BJP MP Jagdambika Pal emphasised the strength of India's democracy, attributing it to B.R. Ambedkar's constitutional vision. He remarked, “Our Constitution, given by Baba Saheb, is the reason why India's democracy remains strong. While neighbouring countries like Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and Bangladesh face political instability, it is India’s Constitution that ensures the robustness of our democratic processes and framework, offering a guiding light to the world.”

Lal Singh Arya, National President of the BJP’s SC Morcha, also paid a heartfelt tribute to B.R. Ambedkar, saying, “Baba Saheb dedicated his life to social, economic, and political justice. He lived a life of struggle for the empowerment of children, women, and the poor. On his 69th death anniversary, I bow at his feet and urge everyone to remember that Baba Saheb lived not for himself but for the nation.”

Earlier in the day Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, former President Ram Nath Kovind, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla paid tributes to Dr Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar, on his death anniversary at the Parliament House Lawns.
