BJP MLA Vijendra Gupta on Tuesday questioned the AAP Government's silence on the corruption in the construction of classrooms in Delhi. Gupta said he had tweeted a set of 24 questions, in July 2019, asking Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Deputy CM Manish Sisodia about the corruption taking place in the construction of classrooms.
“Instead of replying to them, the AAP Government tried to suppress the Opposition's voice by filing fake defamation cases," Gupta said while addressing a Press conference after the Supreme Court quashed the defamation case filed by the Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia against him.
The BJP leader said the Supreme Court's order quashing defamation charges against him by Sisodia, should put the AAP Government to shame. "The AAP Government also suppressed the Central Vigilance Commission's report, for 2.5 years, bringing forth grave financial irregularities in the construction of classrooms," he said.
However, Gupta said he has still not received any reply on the RTI he filed on 1st September 2022, highlighting the issue of financial discrepancies in the construction of classrooms in the Delhi Government schools.
Gupta also criticised the AAP for conducting a rally when Sisodia was summoned by CBI for questioning over his involvement in the now scrapped liquor policy saying that the leaders of party are known for their theatrics instead of their work.
When Deputy CM was called by CBI for questioning in Delhi liquor scam, he and his entire party went on an overdrive to defend his wrongdoing and influence investigation."
Gupta also slammed Kejriwal for comparing Sisodia and Satyendar Jain with great man of country Bhagat Singh, saying that CM comments dragging the name of the freedom fighter for politics were highly objectionable and deeply hurt people of India.
Speaking about AAP's much-publicised "Education Model", Gupta criticised Kejriwal and his deputy for trying to claim credit for the five Rajkiya Pratibha Vikas Vidyalaya (RPVV) featuring in the Education World's State government school rankings.
The BJP leader said the RPVV project was first undertaken by the BJP government in Delhi in 1997by Sahib Singh Verma when he was the Chief Minister.
