"The report submitted by the Vigilance Directorate to the Lokayukta clearly states ﷺthat the number of classrooms ꦅreduced from 7,180 to 4,126 but no deduction of any kind was made in the budget for this," Tiwari said, the report mentioned.
The matter should be handed over to the Criminal Bure꧋au of Inves⛎tigation (CBI), he added, it said.

Delhi BJP secretary Harish Khurana ꦺsaid the time has come that those responsible for the "scam"ꦇ; be put behind the bars, it mentioned.
The AAP charged that the BJP is against quality education for the children of the country, the reporꦯt said.

No matter what happens, Delhi will continue to have a world-class education system of government schools, the AAP said in a statement, it said.
