Gujarat Assembly Speaker R Trivedi says Baba Saheb is 'Brahmin'

At 'Mega Brahmin Business Summit' in Gandhinagar, Gujarat Assembly Speaker R Trivedi said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was a "Brahmin". He also termed BR Ambedkar a "Brahmin." "No hesitation in saying that BR Ambedkar is a Brahmin. There is nothing wrong in calling a learned person a Brahmin. In that context, I will say that PM Narendra Modi is also a Brahmin," Trivedi said on Sunday. However, reportedly, PM Modi's family belonged to the Modh-Ghanchi-Teli (oil-presser) community. It is categorised as an Other Backward Class (OBC) by the government of India.
