New Delhi: Delhi Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Saurabh Bharadwaj criticized the BJP government and certain private schools for allegedly withholding CBSE board exam admit cards, leaving students and parents waiting for hours just a day before exams.
According to Saurabh Bharadwaj , after the BJP came to power, many private schools arbitrarily increased fees, despite promises by the government to pass a law to recover excess fees. “Not a single school has returned the inflated fees so far,” he said.
बीजेपी सरकार और निजी स्कूल मिलकर पेरेंट्स का गला घोंट रहे हैं‼️
बीजेपी के सत्ता में आते ही बहुत सारे निजी स्कूलों ने बेतहाशा फीस बढ़ाई। सरकार ने कहा कि हम नया कानून लाएंगे और ये सारी फीस वापस करवाएंगे लेकिन आज तक एक भी प्राइवेट स्कूल ने बढ़ी हुई फीस वापस नहीं करी।

Saurabh Bharadwaj reminded the public that during the previous AAP government, the school in question had been sealed for fee violations and had given a court undertaking not to increase fees arbitrarily. “But as soon as BJP came to power, the school’s audacity grew, and students’ roll numbers were withheld,” he said.
