Delhi education minister Manish Sisodia on Saturday challenged BJP president Amit Shah and Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi to appoint an unbiased survey agency and compare the work their parties had done for schools in any state they had been in power for over 10-15 years with the work the AAP has accomplished in Delhi. Delhi Congress chief Ajay Maken and the leader of opposition, Vijendra Gupta of the BJP, had on separate occasions questioned the AAP’s claims of reforms in education. Maken had alleged the AAP government had failed to spend the education budget in the past two years, because of which almost Rs 2,000 crore had lapsed. Sisodia wrote to the BJP chief, “...your party has been in power in Delhi’s municipalities for the past 15 years approximately. Delhi Congress spokesperson Sharmistha Mukherjee said the facts counter the claim of the government and Sisodia must explain it.
