A suggestion for Behenji

by rti_adminon February 6, 2018March 20, 20230

Dipankar Kamble Just a suggestion! Caution: This suggestion is just a view and analysis of an amateur Ambedkarite. I am not a great political analyst; this suggestion just struck my mind when I was sitting idly in the canteen. And I don’t even know how much relevance it holds. On 18th July 2017, Mayawati …
