He also mentioned that children of government employees would be eligible for the scheme, though he did not provide details on how or when the scholarships would be awarded.
Kejriwal stated that the Dr. Ambedkar Samman Scholarship was launched in reaction to the BJP’s insult of Ambedkar.
Kejriwal fiercely targeted the BJP and the central government over Home Minister Amit Shah’s statement. He said that while BJP members insult Baba Saheb, he would show him respect, and this scholarship is a tribute to Baba Saheb Ambedkar.
