Atishi, a prominent leader from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), has pointed to the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) alleged mismanagement during its 15-year tenure as a significant factor contributing to the deteriorating condition of Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) schools. The statement comes amidst growing concerns about the state of education infrastructure in the city.
Addressing the press, Atishi highlighted the need for accountability regarding the state of affairs in MCD schools. She cited a lack of proper maintenance and investments during the BJP’s extended governance, which she claims has had a lasting adverse impact on the educational facilities and environment for both students and educators.
Atishi emphasized the current administration’s commitment to revitalizing and upgrading the MCD schools, outlining ongoing efforts to improve infrastructure, enhance teaching quality, and provide better facilities for students. The AAP leader pledged that the Delhi government would prioritize the enhancement of educational standards, focusing on inclusivity and a conducive learning atmosphere.
The comments made by Atishi have reignited the ongoing political discourse concerning education and governance in the national capital. As Delhi gears up for the upcoming elections, the condition of schools and their development are likely to remain crucial topics of discussion, as political parties present their visions for educational reform and development.
