    Nothing of this sort happens without the consent of high command. Same was with church in Manjeshwar. All this is preview of things of BJP development agenda for people to get used to. So, now blind Bhakths claim some disgruntled employee of Dr Ambedkar has done this????. Disgruntled employees are doing the same job as BJP hooligans after 2014. Before 2014 there were no disgruntled employees.
