AAP misused Ambedkar's name, guilty to be brought to justice: CM
The BJP-led Delhi government on Wednesday accused the previous AAP-led regime of a ₹145 crore scam during the Covid period under the Jai Bhim Mukhyamantri Pratibha Vikas Yojana. Delhi Minister Ashish Sood said that Chief Minister Rekha Gupta had recommended an investigation into the matter, following which Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena directed the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) to initiate a probe.
Sood alleged that while the AAP government used Dr B R Ambedkar's image for political gain, it disrespected his ideals by corrupting a scheme launched in his name. The scheme was aimed at providing free coaching to SC/ST/OBC/EWS/Minority students for competitive exams such as UPSC, SSC, DSSSB, NEET, and CLAT, but it was "severely misused," he said.
