Delhi Leader of Opposition and former Chief Minister Atishi said that the bill introduced in the Delhi Assembly is a deception. This is to save private school owners. This is a bill to make a government seal on their unbridled fees hike. This bill was to be introduced in April and now August has come. Private schools intimidated parents for fees. Why is this bill being brought now? BJP and private schools have been found and want to legalize them by taking increased fees from parents. We will take it to the streets. We will go to court. We will also raise this issue in Parliament as Delhi’s parents are extremely upset with the increased fees. They are seeing that the BJP is mixed with private school owners.
