After APP MLA Somnath Bharti was attacked with ink and later arrested in Uttar Pradesh's Raebareli district on Monday, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal slammed CM Yogi Adityanath-led state government. Taking to Twitter, Arvind Kejriwal wrote, "Our MLA Somnath Bharti was going to see your government school, but he was attacked with ink and was then arrested. Are your schools so bad? If someone goes to see your schools then why do you get so scared?"

Taking a fresh jibe at the UP government, Delhi Chief Minister directed CM Yogi to fix the school instead of attacking his party workers. He said, "Fix the school. If you do not want to, then ask Manish Sisodia."
