The ideas Ambedkar espoused and shared shaped the modern Constitution of India, prioritising development and plurality over outdated notions, he said, adding that as author and father of the Constitution he drafted the text for the continuation of the nation.
“Ambedkar had a vision for the future we still have not fully realised. He envisaged an India unencumbered by superstition dedicated to the improvement of its people,”he said.
Sharma further stated that he was proud to work closely with Telangana community organisations in the UK, especially Uday Nagaraju, a son of Telangana, putting himself forward for election in the UK.
“They do fantastic work, not just for their own community, but to invigorate and enrich the social and cultural life of the entire United Kingdom and Telangana diaspora. I hope you(CM) will join us in the UK soon, and share the inspiration for the Hyderabad statue,”he said.
