The statue was unveiled by SP chief Akhilesh Yadav at the Lohia Auditorium.

"We are unveiling this statue. Now with statues of (Ram Manohar) Lohia, Jayaprakash Narayan and other socialists, his (Ambedkar's)statue will remain here," Yadav said.

"We cannot forget the contributions of Ambedkar, who united people of all castes. He framed the Constitution and on his anniversary we take pledge to follow path of secularism," he said.
