The Delhi election campaigns are gaining momentum. The ruling Aam Aadmi Get together (AAP) has already fielded candidates for all seats whereas the Congress is but to announce some candidates. The BJP is but to launch 41 names. In the meantime, the 2 rival events – BJP and AAP – have been attacking each-other over varied points together with freebies, reservation and faith. Now, former CM Arvind Kejriwal has acquired one other weapon in his arsenal and that too from BJP-ruled Uttarakhand.
Uttarakhand Medical School Row
College students of Haridwar-based Authorities Medical School have been protesting towards the Pushkar Singh Dhami-led BJP authorities’s resolution handy over the school to personal gamers. As per experiences, the Uttarakhand authorities has resolved to switch the administration of the medical school to the ‘Sharda Academic Belief.’ Following the switch, the establishment will reportedly function below the Public-Personal Partnership (PPP) mannequin.
The scholars are dissatisfied, arguing that regardless of gaining admission to a authorities school by means of their arduous work, they are going to obtain a non-public school certificates upon finishing the course. Moreover, they level out that authorities medical schools have reasonably priced charges, whereas non-public schools cost considerably increased quantities.
