Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Wednesday accused the BJP of "conspiring" to shut the AAP Government's 'Dilli ki Yogshala' programme which offers free yoga classes to Delhiites by pressurising officials. He said Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has given his nod to continue the programme and has sent the file to L-G Saxena for approval. Sisodia has sought an explanation from the Secretary of the Directorate of Training and Technical Education for allegedly trying to "discontinue" the programme that was announced by the AAP on December 13 for providing yoga instructors free to Delhiites. Currently, 590 yoga classes are being run daily with more than 17,000 participants.
"The BJP is hellbent on depriving Delhi residents of free yoga from November 1 by putting pressure on officers to discontinue 'Dilli Ki Yogshala,” Sisodia said at a press conference.
