Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Ambedkar wrote, "My dear people, the Bhima-Koregaon Shaurya Diwas is a reminder of a step forward of our ancestors in the struggle against caste oppression. Draw inspiration from the victory of the 500 (499 Mahars and 1 Matang) soldiers, and the Alutedar forces, over their Brahmanical Peshwas rulers."
"Hold a positive memory of their valour and use it as a symbol of an independent Ambedkarite political aspiration, just what Babasaheb wanted. When you visit the Jay Stambh today and in the near future, honour the soldiers and commit your vote to fulfil the aspiration and ambition of Babasaheb – an independent Ambedkarite political power. Jai Bhim," he added.
