Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva slammed the AAP, saying they were disgruntled due to its defeat in the February Assembly polls.

"After losing power in Delhi due to huge corruption in education, power, water and health sectors, the AAP leaders are now trying to create a perception that all is not well in the new BJP regime," Sachdeva said in a statement.

Addressing a press conference, Delhi AAP president Saurabh Bharadwaj accused the BJP of being against the interests of the poor and the middle class.

He said that since April 1, several prominent private schools in Delhi—some of which are well-known not just in the city but across India—have significantly hiked their fees, prompting protests from parents.
