New Delhi [India]: Former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Tuesday appreciated his party colleague and Delhi Education Minister Atishi for not letting the education revolution stop in Delhi and praised her for taking steps to further strengthen it.
The Aam Aadmi party leaders visited Rajkiya Sarvodaya BAL Vidyalaya in West Vinod Nagar in the city and interacted with students.
Students also tied Rakhis to Sisodia and Atishi.
“In the last 17 months, I was missing my visits to schools, and meeting children. I believe that children are a form of God. Today, I came here with Atishi. She did not let the conspirators stop the education revolution and I am very happy that she has even further strengthened the education system of Delhi,” Sisodia, who was the former Education Minister, said while interacting with the reporters.
“I came to know that 20 new schools have been started. One new sports school has been started. Such initiatives have never been taken before. During my tenure in jail, I used to pray that the education revolution must not stop,” said Sisodia, who was recently released on bail after 17 months in connection with the Delhi excise policy scam.
Earlier on Friday, the Supreme Court granted bail to Manish Sisodia in the excise policy irregularities cases. The order has been delivered by a bench of justices B R Gavai and K V Viswanathan. The court also imposed various conditions including surrendering the passport and not influencing witnesses.
On June 4, the top court also gave him the liberty to revive his prayer afresh after filing the final charge sheet.
In February 2023, Sisodia was arrested by the CBI for alleged irregularities in the framing and implementation of now-scrapped Delhi’s new excise policy.
The policy was withdrawn amid allegations of foul play by the opposition. Sisodia is currently in judicial custody.
According to the CBI, Sisodia had played the most vital role in the criminal conspiracy and he had been deeply involved in the formulation as well as the implementation of the said policy to ensure the achievement of the objectives of the said conspiracy
