“Our motive is to ensure inclusive and comprehensive development of weaker sections of the society,” the Minister said while addressing a large gathering of people belonging to weaker sections at a function organized by All India Confederation of ST, SC and OBC in connection with the celebration of birth anniversary of Dr B R Ambedkar here today.
