AAP Delhi's Chief, Saurabh Bharadwaj, has leveled serious allegations against the BJP government, accusing them of colluding with private schools amid repeated fee hike complaints.
Addressing a press conference, Bharadwaj highlighted stark incidents of 34 students expelled from a Dwarka school due to fee disputes. He contended that students not paying the increased fees were subjected to public humiliation further claiming that bouncers are employed to intimidate protesting parents.
