Amidst weeks of verbal and virtual duels between the AAP and BJP on a number of issues, rival leaders from the opposing parties fought on camera outside schools in Delhi on Wednesday. Both the AAP’s Saurabh Bharadwaj and the BJP’s Gaurav Bhatia tweeted videos of their versions of the brawl.
The BJP’s allegation of a “school scam" involving inflated costs for school reconstruction was the cause behind the fight including an accusation that the AAP government ‘falsely promised’ 500 new schools in Delhi, which were never built.
#2भाग केजरीवाल भाग यह दूसरा स्कूल था जहां आप के प्रवक्ता ले कर गए वादा 500 स्कूल बनाने का था
पहला पुराना स्कूल आप सरकार द्वारा नहीं बनवाया गया है
दूसरा स्कूल आप प्रवक्ता खुद मान रहे हैं अभी बन रहा है
500 की सूची बार बार माँगने पर भी नहीं दीखुद देखिए
BJP leader Gaurav Bhatia was at a school today on the invitation of AAP Saurabh Bharadwaj when the two sparred. He had challenged the AAP government to take him to a “single school" built by the party. But according to the AAP spokesperson, who shared his video, the BJP leader refused to enter the school and “ran away." “We told him there are 498 schools, please let us see them," Bharadwaj wrote.
