Amit Shah tweeted, "Arvind Kejriwal ji you called me to see a school run by the Delhi government. Yesterday, the eight MPs of Delhi BJP went to different schools and see how they are…
Their plight exposed the claims of your 'education revolution'.
Now you have to answer to the people of Delhi ..."

The video shared by Shah shows the abysmal state of schools the BJP team visited. The video shows leaking roof, damaged furniture and horrible conditions of the toilets.
February 8 is the date for the Delhi assembly elections.
There are a total of seventy seats in the Delhi Assembly out of which the Aam Aadmi Party won sixty-seven the last time. Mainly three political parties are in the fray – the Aam Aadmi Party, the Bharatiya Janata Party, and the Congress.
Ninety thousand officials are to be deployed for poll duty, he said. Additional secretaries will look after the deployment of the officers.
Arora lamented that some constituencies in Delhi had lower turnouts last time than seats in the Maoist affected areas of the country. But he assured that the EC is taking all steps to ensure more participation this time. There will be 13,750 polling stations in Delhi for 1,46,92,136 electors.
To ensure larger voter participation in Delhi Assembly polls, the Election Commission has announced a postal ballet facility for absentee voters.
“We have allowed the absentee voters to vote through postal ballot this time. Absentee voters include PwD (person with a disability) and senior citizens (above 80 years). They will have to submit form 12D between January 14 and January 19 to avail the facility,” said Ranbir Singh, Chief Electoral Officer of Delhi.
