NEW DELHI: Delhi government schools could be transformed over the last eight years only because of Manish Sisodia, who would wake up at 6 every morning and go on their inspection, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Saturday.
Kejriwal made the statement while laying the foundation stone for the new building blocks for Rajkiya Sarvodaya Kanya Bal Vidyalaya in East Vinod Nagar.
He said the school will look like Columbia University after it is fully constructed.
Speaking about his deputy and former education minister, Kejriwal said, "They (Centre) jailed Manish Sisodia accusing him of corruption. He is the same leader who used to wake up every morning at 6 to visit schools. Corrupt leaders don't go visiting schools for inspection at 6 am", he said.
पूर्वी दिल्ली के विनोद नगर में आज एक और सरकारी स्कूल की नई इमारत की आधारशिला रखी। ये इमारत किसी भी विदेशी स्कूल और यूनिवर्सिटी की बिल्डिंग जैसी शानदार होगी। मनीष जी ने ही इस इमारत का प्लान बनाया था। उनके द्वारा शुरू की गई इस शिक्षा क्रांति को हम मिशन मोड पर यूँ ही जारी रखेंगे। pic.twitter.com/w5whNY5lqP
