New Delhi [India], January 3 : Aam Aadmi Party leader Saurabh Bharadwaj hit back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi today, after the PM had criticised the ruling party in Delhi for 'damaging school education' in the last ten years.
Speaking to ANI, he said that the school system in Delhi is famous the world over, with many people travelling from across the world to experience the school system of the national capital.
The AAP leader said that he 'feels like laughing' after the PM spoke about the education system, claiming that during the tenure of Modi as Gujarat Chief Minister, they had to make a school in a studio to film it for election.
"I feel like laughing when the PM talks about the education system in Delhi. When Modi was Gujarat CM for over 25 years, when the Gujarat election came around, they had to make a school in a studio and filmed it," he told ANI.
Earlier, hitting back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Aapda' (crisis) at the Aam Aadmi Party-led Delhi government, party's national convenor Arvind Kejriwal highlighted his government's works in the national capital and said that people consider this as a 'Aashirwad' (blessing).
"Jo kaam AAP Sarkar kar rahi hai use log aapda nahi aashirwad kehte hai (The work the AAP government is doing isn't a crisis; people call it a blessing)," Kejriwal said at a press conference, adding that there are three "Aapda" (crisis) in the BJP.
The AAP leaders' remarks come after PM Modi spoke at a public meeting in Ashok Vihar's Ramlila Ground. The PM said, "Those who have been in power in Delhi for the last 10 years - have damaged school education."
The PM had further said that the money being given to the Delhi government by the union government has not been spent fully.
"The money that the central government has given to Delhi - the current govt of Delhi hasn't even spent half of that money in education," the PM added.
PM Modi also attacked AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal and said, "In the last 10 years, Delhi has been surrounded by an 'Aapda'. By keeping Anna Hazare at the front, a few 'kattar beimaan' people have pushed Delhi towards 'Aapda'. 'AAP aapda bankar Delhi par toot padi hai'..."
