Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Adesh Gupta accused the Kejriwal government of backing out from paying the examination fees of students studying in class 10th and 12th in Government schools of Delhi.
Gupta said the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) charges examination fees every year for board exams from its recognised schools. Fees are charged up to Rs 2500 per student. But the Kejriwal government had announced that the Delhi government will deposit the examination fees of 3.5 lakh students of class 10 and 12 for the 2019-20 sessions on 17 September 2019.
“Around 57 crore rupees were deposited last year by the Delhi government to CBSE but this year at the time people are facing financial crisis during the Corona pandemic, the Kejriwal government has refused to pay the examination fees due to which the burden will now be on the families of the students.
The BJP president further asked, Rs Rs Where did the education model of Delhi now? “It clearly exposed the double-faced Kejriwal government as it was trying to be the messiah of the people before the elections and left people to suffer after elections,” he said.
Gupta said that for the session 2020-21, about 3.5 lakh students will appear for the 10th and 12th examination. “The Kejriwal government is wasting money on unnecessary works but not depositing the examination fees. There are many people who earn on a daily basis and at present circumstances; it is difficult for them to pay the fees.
