Amid controversy over Home Minister Amit Shah's remarks on Ambedkar, Kejriwal launches Dr Ambedkar Samman Scholarship, pledging support for Dalit students pursuing studies abroad

Kejriwal, Arvind Kejriwal

In the run-up to the assembly elections in Delhi, AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday announced an Ambedkar scholarship for free foreign education of the city's Dalit students.
Kejriwal said the Dr Ambedkar Samman Scholarship was a response to the BJP's "insult" of Ambedkar.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah "insulted and made fun of Babasaheb Dr Ambedkar in Parliament. Crores of people who love Ambedkar were deeply pained," the former Delhi chief minister said at the AAP headquarters.
Ambedkar had said education was the way forward and secured a PhD from the US against all odds, Kejriwal told reporters.
The scholarship is a response to the insult meted out by the BJP to the chief architect of the Indian Constitution, the AAP chief added.
"Under the scheme, any Dalit student from Delhi will be able to receive education in foreign universities. If they get admission in any such university, the Delhi government will bear the entire cost of their education, travel and accommodation,"

The Samajwadi Party is not expected to come to power in Uttar Pradesh till 2047, Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya said on Sunday, taking a dig at the opposition party chief Akhilesh Yadav over its dismal performance in the assembly bypolls.
The BJP won six of the nine assembly seats while its ally RLD won one, with the opposition Samajwadi Party winning the remaining two.
Referring to the Samajwadi Party's PDA (Pichhda, Dalit, Alpsankhyak) formula, Maurya, in a post on X, said, "The SP's fake PDA (Parivar Development Agency) collapsed in the by-elections. Those who claimed (victory) in nine seats are now unable to tell the count."
He accused the opposition party of "misleading the Backwards and Dalits by allying with the BSP in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls and the Congress in 2024.
"But the public rejected the SP outright," the senior BJP leader said. "Forget about 2027, wait till 2047 Akhilesh ji. Even then there is no hope of SP coming to power," he said.

The BJP government in Uttar Pradesh and the party organisation complemented each other for the party's impressive bypoll wins in the state, with key leaders attributing the win to a combination of organisational outreach and government performance.
While Uttar Pradesh BJP chief Bhupendra Chaudhary credited the win to the policies and leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the chief minister and his ministers didn't fail to return the compliment by recognising the contribution of the organization and the party's foot soldiers for the achievement.
The BJP won six of the nine assembly seats while its ally RLD won one, with the opposition Samajwadi Party winning the remaining two.
"I think there was hardly any seat, any booth that UP BJP general secretary (organization) Dharampal Singh didn't cover. In fact, he also took care of panna pramukhs," said Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya, revealing how the BJP micro managed the

BJP president J P Nadda on Saturday hailed his party's victory in Maharashtra assembly polls and byelections in various states as "historic" and said people have put their seal on the Prime Minister's vision for the country's development, rejecting the opposition's politics of division and appeasement.
Addressing an event organised at the BJP headquarters after the results of the elections, Nadda accepted people's mandate in Jharkhand and asserted that his party will play the role of "constructive opposition" in the state and fight against infiltration from Bangladesh "till the last breath".
"It's a historic day," he said. In the latest round of elections, the people of Maharashtra and other states have put their stamp on Modi's agenda of development and his resolve to serve the nation, he said.

The juggernaut of the BJP-led NDA, which triumphed in three of the four east and north-eastern states that went for assembly bypolls on Saturday, was halted yet again in West Bengal where Mamata Banerjee's TMC registered a six-on-six clean sweep.
In its process of continuing to deny the BJP its coveted foothold in the state's political theatre, the TMC retained five of the six seats it had previously won during the 2021 polls, while wresting the key Madarihat seat from the saffron camp in north Bengal's Alipurduar district, and opening its account in the segment for the first time.
The scene was much brighter for the ruling NDA in neighbouring Bihar where it swept the bypolls to four assembly segments, retaining Imamganj and wresting from the INDIA bloc Tarari, Ramgarh and Belaganj, in a shot in the arm ahead of the assembly polls due next year.
In Assam, the BJP and its allies retained four assembly seats and were leading in one, where the bypolls were held on November 13.
