Bhimanagari Utsav: ‘Radhe-Radhe’ Slogans by BJP MLA Ahead of Yogi Adityanath’s Arrival Spark Protest in Agra, Crowd Demands Focus on Ambedkar’s Secular Ideology (Watch Video)
During Bhimanagari Utsav in Agra, BJP MLA’s “Radhe-Radhe” slogans ahead of CM Yogi’s visit sparked protests, with attendees demanding the event remain centered on Ambedkar’s secular ideals.
A controversy erupted during the "Bhimanagari Utsav" event organised in Agra on the occasion of Ambedkar Jayanti after BJP MLA Poornprakash Mehra raised slogans of "Radhe-Radhe" ahead of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s arrival. The incident reportedly angered several attendees, who objected to the religious chant and demanded that slogans like "Jai Bhim" be raised instead. Tensions briefly flared at the venue as people accused the legislator of attempting to "saffronise" the event, which was meant to commemorate Dr. B.R. Ambedkar's birth anniversary. Protesters emphasised that the function was secular and should remain focused on Ambedkar's ideology and social justice, not religious overtones. Event organisers and local officials stepped in to calm the situation, and the event continued without further disruptions.
