Delhi BJP Accuses Education Minister of Politicizing Parent-Teacher Meetings

Delhi BJP spokespersons have accused Education Minister Atishi of using Parent-Teacher Meetings in government schools for political gains. They claimed the meetings are being turned into political dramas, with attempts to connect with parents. BJP also alleged mismanagement and misinformation by AAP leaders.

Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokespersons Praveen Shankar Kapoor and Shikha Rai have alleged that the Education Minister of Delhi, Atishi, is politicizing Parent-Teacher Meetings (PTMs) in government schools to establish political connections with parents.

They criticized the attendance of ministers and MLAs at these PTMs as a political exploitation of the education system, calling it a lamentable attempt. Praveen Shankar Kapoor pointed out that while PTMs are standard globally, the 'drama' around them is unique to Delhi's government schools.

BJP claimed that despite Atishi's efforts during her visit to schools in Kalkaji, parents have rejected the Aam Aadmi Party in recent elections. They also accused the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) of running a 'shop of corruption' and dramatizing issues related to education, health, and public welfare.

The Delhi BJP spokespersons added that parents in municipal corporation schools are concerned about uniform distribution delays, and those in government schools worry about rising failure rates. They believe the PTMs were rendered meaningless due to the Education Minister's focus on self-praise.

Additionally, Delhi BJP Secretary and MP Bansuri Swaraj accused Minister Atishi of spreading misinformation regarding Union Budget allocations, with Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva asserting that significant development work and grants have been provided by the central government over the past decade.
