Delhi BJP President Shri Virendra Sachdeva today paid floral tributes to Bharat Ratna Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar on his Mahaparinirvan Diwas and said that restricting Babasaheb Ambedkar’s vision to any one section of society is equivalent to insulting him, because Babasaheb’s ideology and philosophy aimed at educating every deprived individual and connecting them to the mainstream of society. Virendra Sachdeva said it is extremely unfortunate that Aam Aadmi Party leaders make political statements in the name of Babasaheb but have done nothing for the upliftment of the Dalit community in their 10 years of governance. The Delhi BJP President said that from Arvind Kejriwal and Saurabh Bhardwaj to AAP MLAs Kuldeep Kumar and Vishesh Ravi, all of them repeatedly make misleading allegations that Babasaheb’s portrait has been removed from the Delhi Secretariat. I challenge them to accompany me to the Secretariat, and if Babasaheb’s portrait is not found in the Chief Minister’s office, I will apologize but if it is found there, then the AAP leaders must apologize for spreading lies.
How many Dalit students their government
Virendra Sachdeva further said that Saurabh Bhardwaj and other AAP leaders want to create political controversy by linking or delinking Babasaheb’s name with schools. They should tell how many Dalit or economically weaker students received educational or scholarship benefits through any government scheme during their tenure. Virendra Sachdeva said that the AAP government announced many schemes in the name of Babasaheb— including the Jai Bhim Mukhyamantri Pratibha Vikas Yojana— for Dalit and backward-class students, but not a single scheme provided any significant benefit to these students. I ask Saurabh Bhardwaj to tell how many Dalit students their government sent abroad for studies in 10 years, how many received scholarship benefits, or how many benefited from the Babasaheb Mukhyamantri Pratibha Vikas Yojana.
Jai Bhim Mukhyamantri Pratibha Vikas Yojana
The Delhi BJP President said the Kejriwal government announced a plan to send Dalit students abroad for higher studies, including allocating a special ₹5 crore per year in the budget for Dalit students, but in 10 years they released only ₹2.5 crore, and out of that, merely ₹30 lakh was actually distributed. Saurabh Bhardwaj should explain why, despite repeated announcements, his government did not distribute scholarships to 5 lakh Scheduled Caste/Tribe students and why not even a single student received the benefit of the Jai Bhim Mukhyamantri Pratibha Vikas Yojana.
