Aug 29, 2022

New Delhi, Aug 29 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party National Spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia, while addressing a Press Conference on August 29 alleged that the construction cost of additional classrooms was shown 50-90 per cent hiked. “AAP’s manifesto promised 500 new schools in Delhi. The new schools didn’t come up but, in a pre-planned manner, they sought a report from PWD. Submitted at the behest of Arvind Kejriwal report stated that additional classrooms will be built and new schools won’t be built,” he said. “50-90 pc hiked construction cost was shown, overlooking provisions of CPWD manual, for profit so that tender can be given to select contractors. Matter of concern as CVC inquiry report that a major scam took place, was sent to Delhi government Vigilance Secretary 2.5 years back,” he added.
