State Legislative Assembly Deputy Speaker Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka said that the government has taken a decision to install constitutional architect Dr B R Ambedkar’s statue in the Assembly premises.
Talking to media persons after garlanding the portrait of Dr Ambedkar at Assembly Committee Hall to mark his 122nd birth anniversary, Vikramarka said that the government, in principle, has decided to install the Ambedkar’s statue in the Assembly premises.
