On Saturday, Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal announced an Ambedkar scholarship for free foreign education for the city's Dalit students.
The former Delhi CM said the Dr Ambedkar Samman Scholarship was a response to the BJP's "insult" of Ambedkar.
Under the scheme, the Delhi government will bear the entire cost of a student's education, travel and accommodation, if they secure admission to an Indian or foreign university, Kejriwal said. The benefits of the scheme will also extend to children of government employees, he added, without explaining how and when the scholarships would be given.
The AAP chief gave the example of BR Ambedkar saying he secured a PhD from the US against all odds.
