Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) leader on Tuesday repainted BR Ambedkar's statue from saffron to blue in Uttar Pradesh's Badaun.

In the past, we have seen from Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's office to various other spots being painted saffron, the colour has become a defining feature of the state.
The state has been draped in this colour hue ever since the Yogi-led Bharatiya Janata Party government came into the power.
