The BJP on August 29 alleged a scam in the Delhi Education Department, saying the city government increased the budget for the construction of classrooms in its existing schools, ignoring the Central Public Works Department’s guidelines.
Citing a Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) report sent to the Delhi government's Vigilance Department in 2020, the saffron party said the city government hiked the construction cost by ₹326 crore, 53% more than the original tender amount, without floating a new tender.
