Kejriwal said the Dr Ambedkar Samman Scholarship was a response to the BJP's "insult" of Ambedkar.

The BJP, however, alleged that Kejriwal dressed up an old scheme announced in 2019 for political mileage ahead of the elections.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah "insulted and made fun of Babasaheb Dr Ambedkar in Parliament. Crores of people who love Ambedkar were deeply pained," Kejriwal said at the AAP headquarters.

Ambedkar had said education was the way forward and secured a PhD from the US against all odds, the former Delhi chief minister told reporters.
