Sisodia hits back at Nadda’s ‘laughing stock’ comment

New Delhi: A day after BJP working president J. P. Nadda termed Delhi government-run schools as “laughing stock”, deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia on Sunday challenged him and Rajya Sabha MP Vijay Goel to compare education model of the schools from any BJP-run state with the Delhi government schools.

The challenge by Mr Sisodia comes in response to Mr Nadda’s claims on Saturday that the ruling AAP in Delhi had become “a laughing stock”, as he exuded confidence that his party will form the next government in Delhi, as the city needs a leadership with “serious vision”.

“Delhi schools posted the best result in Delhi’s history this year with 94 per cent pass rate. What is the best result in your states? Delhi has the highest portion of the budget (for education), at 26 per cent, do any of your states have such a high allocation for education? Show us even one state run by the BJP, where the school infrastructure has been developed, which can be compared with the Kejriwal model,” Mr Sisodia tweeted.

Mr Sisodia said, “At least Kejriwal’s education model is making you laugh but look at the BJP’s government schools, it will make you cry!
