“The AAP government’s mismanagement in Punjab, such as reducing or increasing security personnel arbitrarily, cost Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala his life,” he told reporters here.

Bittu also accused Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal of “hypocrisy” for questioning Delhi’s law and order while he said the ruling party in Punjab failed to ensure safety and security.

Addressing a press conference, Bittu accused the AAP government of misleading the public about the state of education and governance in the Capital.

He called out the AAP government for its “super flop” education policies, claiming they have failed to deliver on their promises despite being in power for more than a decade.

“In the past 12 years, the Delhi Government has not established any new college or school. The existing universities are in poor shape. Manish Sisodia, who is hailed as the architect of Delhi’s education model, didn’t find these suitable for his children. Thus, he sent his son to study in Canada,” said Bittu.

‘Ruling AAP promotes education barons’

He accused the Delhi Government of portraying their schools and universities as world-class, while promoting private education barons like Ashok Mittal and Arvind Ojha. “Arvind Kejriwal and Sisodia have misled the residents of Delhi and the nation election after election,” added the BJP MP.

“They openly sent wealthy education tycoons from Punjab to the Rajya Sabha and took money in the form of loans from them. Later, Sisodia sent his son to Canada using such funds,” he said.

Bittu claimed that Romesh Mittal, who provided education loan for Sisodia’s son, is brother of AAP MP Ashok Mittal, owner of a private university.

Guneet Arora, another individual linked to the financial dealings, was related to AAP’s Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Arora, added Bittu.

Meanwhile, Bittu said significant upgrade of railway infrastructure was underway in Delhi. “The Indian Railways will initiate development works at the Anand Vihar Railway Station and the Sarai Rohilla Railway Station,” he said.
