What did Saurabh Bhardwaj say
On this issue, Aam Aadmi Party leader and party’s Delhi state president Saurabh Bhardwaj has targeted BJP. While sharing a post on social media, he said that the nexus between private school owners and BJP’s Delhi government was again exposed in the High Court today. He said that earlier the BJP government had assured the Supreme Court that their “Private Fees Act” would not be applicable on the increased private school fees for 2025-26. Now in the High Court, this Act has also been made applicable for the upcoming session 2026-27.
