BJP's questions on AAP government's work in the education sector
On its Twitter account, the Delhi BJP unit raised several questions pertaining to the education sector. First, it contended that the AAP's report card was a 'bunch of lies'. BJP alleged that the AAP government had not spent Rs.145.72 crore, allocated for higher education.
Thereafter, the AAP government was accused of increasing the education budget by only 0.41% despite the increased economic capacity of the national capital. Similarly, BJP targeted the Kejriwal regime for not spending enough on technical education. Another charge was that the Delhi government could spend only 79% of the budget allocated for education in the year 2016-17.
