New Delhi: Criticizing the Arvind Kejriwal led-Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government for allegedly "misleading" the people of the national capital, BJP's Rajya Sabha MP Vijay Goel has said that claims made by the dispensation were "hollow and false".
Interacting with the ETV Bharat here, Goel, who along with six other BJP MPs, was out to "expose" the AAP government for its claims on the work done by it in the city during the past five years, said "AAP is lying".
"The AAP government is lying," the BJP leader said, adding that he visited Mustafabad school in the city to corroborate the claims of the city government in the field of education and found out that it was in a bad shape.
"The school is in such a bad shape that people would get to know everything about their claims once they see its condition," he said, adding that it is overcrowded with 4000 students studying there with no basic facility.
"Students could be seen studying in the veranda of the school," Goel said.
He also challenged Deputy Chief Minister and Education Minister Manish Sisodia to visit a school in Delhi to corroborate his government's claims.
"Education system is in bad shape in Delhi as out of 900 schools, 600 of them do not have principals," he said, adding that if schools could be run without principals then why not remove them from other schools as well.
On being asked to comment on Minister of State for Finance Anurag Thakur raising controversial slogans during a poll campaign, the BJP Rajya Sabha MP did not reply directly and said "it was painful to see people organizing protests like the one at Shaheen Bagh, where, he said, anti-India comments were being made.
