Akali Dal, Congress take jibe at Mann’s Delhi visit

The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and the Congress took a jibe at Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on his visits to Delhi schools and hospitals to understand the ‘Delhi model’.

Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader and former Minister Daljit Singh Cheema said that Delhi was following the meritorious school model of Punjab with a few modifications. It was after only reaching Delhi that the Punjab Chief Minister was apprised by his own party members that the Punjab model of school education was being emulated in Delhi.

Mr. Cheema said SAD had some time ago advised Mr. Mann to visit the ‘Meritorious’ and ‘Adarsh’ schools established by the previous SAD-led government so that the neglect they had suffered during the last five years of Congress-rule could be corrected.
