Delhi, Sept 1st,2022: AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj and BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia fought on camera in Delhi outside a school on Wednesday which triggered political fiasco on social media.
Both the rival leaders posted videos on Twitter depicting their side of the argument.
The trigger is the BJP’s claim of a “school scam” involving allegations that the Arvind Kejriwal government inflated the cost of rebuilding schools in the capital and misused funds. The party also accuses the AAP government of falsely promising 500 new schools, which were never really built.
Gaurav Bhatia visited a school on the invite of Saurabh Bharadwaj; he had challenged the AAP government to take him to a “single school” built by them.
AAP leader Bharadwaj posted a video showing that the BJP leader refused to enter the school and “ran away”.
The video shows Bhatia getting into his car and leaving amid AAP supporters criticizing him.
The BJP leader, in turn, posted another video from outside the school.
“He (the AAP leader) took us to one school built in 1966. We have come to a second school that is unfinished. This is the reality after eight-and-a-half years. Thanks, the truth has come out,” Bhatia said in the video.
The AAP and the BJP have been fighting for weeks after the CBI raided Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia over allegations of corruption in the Delhi government’s liquor policy whereas AAP has accused the Modi-led party of “buying” the party members to switch sides.
