The cash crunch can’t crush Jai Bhim comrades’ spirit. Thousands of followers of Dr BR Ambedkar have descended on Shivaji Park from across the country to commemorate his 61st death anniversary tomorrow. According to many, instead of the expected fall in numbers in the wake of demonetisation, the number of disciples turning up to pay homage has increased this year.
