ALLIANCE TO APPOSE
“Mr. Ashok Mehta, General Secretary of the Socialist Party, told an election meeting at Chowpatty on Sunday the 23rd December 1951, that the Party’s alliance with the Scheduled Castes’ Federation has created a new force.
He was followed by Dr. Ambedkar, the leader of the Federation, who said the alliance was merely to oppose the Congress.
Mr. Mehta attacked Mr. Nehru’s criticism of the alliance.
Dr. Ambedkar said the Congress had done nothing during the last four years.
Several processions from different parts of the city joined the public meeting at Chowpatty.” [1]
