BJP seeks action against AAP’s Atishi

The BJP Sunday demanded action against AAP MLA Atishi over her “false” claim that “officials from Kerala” visited a school in Delhi to learn about the Kejriwal government’s education model. It comes after Kerala Education Minister V Sivankutty said in a tweet that no “officials” from the state visited Delhi as claimed by Atishi on Saturday.

His tweet was in response to a post by Atishi, the MLA from Delhi’s Kalkaji, who had said, “It was wonderful to host officials from Kerala at one of our schools in Kalkaji. They were keen to understand and implement our education model in their state. This is @ArvindKejriwal Govt’s idea of nation building. Development through collaboration.” Sivankutty replied to her tweet, saying, “Kerala’s Dept of Education has not sent anyone to learn about the ‘Delhi Model’. At the same time, all assistance was provided to officials who had visited from Delhi to study the ‘Kerala Model’ last month. We would like to know which ‘officials’ were welcomed by the AAP MLA.”

The second five-year term for the 44-year-old centrist spared France and Europe from the seismic upheaval of having firebrand populist Marine Le Pen at the helm, Macron’s presidential runoff challenger who quickly conceded defeat but was still on course for her best-ever electoral showing.
