Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the new campus of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar School of Economics University, Bengaluru (BASE), unveiling a 22-feet bronze statue of Dr. Ambedkar. The campus has 13 blocks newly built at a cost of ₹250 crore on the 43.45-acre campus on Jnanabharathi campus of Bangalore University.
This prompted the Opposition Congress to ask why the BJP was claiming credit for the former’s flagship project, established in 2017.
