Awadh Ojha joins AAP ahead of 2025 Delhi Assembly elections
New Delhi: Renowned UPSC educator Awadh Ojha, popularly known as 'Ojha Sir,' has joined the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) ahead of the 2025 Delhi Assembly elections. Ojha formally entered the party at its headquarters in the presence of AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal and senior leader Manish Sisodia.
Ojha expressed gratitude to the AAP leadership for providing him with an opportunity to work in the education sector through politics. "The development of educational infrastructure will be my topmost priority," he stated after joining the party.
Arvind Kejriwal welcomed Ojha, highlighting his contribution to education. "Awadh Ojha ji has enabled lakhs of youth to achieve employment and a better life through quality education. His entry into politics will further strengthen the country's education system," Kejriwal said.
Manish Sisodia, in a post on X (formerly Twitter), remarked that Ojha's inclusion would enhance AAP’s efforts in the education sector. "Under Arvind Kejriwal ji's leadership, AAP has achieved historic milestones in education. With Ojha ji's addition, our mission will gain further momentum," he wrote.
Ojha, originally from Gonda, Uttar Pradesh, is widely recognised for his unique teaching methods combining history, geopolitics, and current affairs for UPSC aspirants. Despite failing to clear the UPSC exam himself, he transitioned into teaching and eventually founded the IQRA IAS Academy in Pune in 2019.
With the Delhi Assembly elections scheduled for February 2025, Ojha’s association with AAP is expected to bolster the party’s focus on education reform.

Cristiano Ronaldo scores his 100th Saudi Pro League goal
Riyadh (AP): Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 100th Saudi Pro League goal as Al-Nassr beat Al-Shabab 4-2 to move five points clear at the top of the table.
The 41-year-old forward converted a Sadio Mané cross at the near post with 15 minutes remaining to record the 971st goal of his career on Thursday. It was also his 26th league goal of the season.
“Ronaldo is always dangerous going forward and we saw that again today,” Al-Nassr coach Jorge Jesus said.
João Félix, signed from Chelsea in July, scored three goals for the league leaders.
The win took Al-Nassr to 82 points from 32 games, five ahead of Al-Hilal, which has three matches, one more than Nassr, left to play. Al-Hilal meets Al-Kholood on Friday and faces Nassr on Tuesday in what could be a title decider against its Riyadh rival.
“Now we have a derby match against our rival, which is a difficult encounter,” Jesus said.
“We are fully aware of its importance, and we are dealing with it with complete focus as we know that small details could decide the result.”
Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d'Or winner, has yet to secure a major trophy in Saudi Arabia since signing with Al-Nassr in December 2022.
