Launching a scathing attack on the Aam Aadmi Party, Delhi BJP president Virendraa Sachdeva claimed that like many of the educational institutions and universities under the Delhi government, 12 colleges affiliated to the University of Delhi have reached a state close to collapse.
“The Aam Aadmi Party government, which claims to have presented a profit-making budget and a world-class education model, needs to answer why it has not released funds on time for 12 universities over the last decade,” Sachdeva said.

“In the last ten years, the Arvind Kejriwal government has not created a single new college. The 12 existing colleges inherited from previous administrations have been abandoned to the point of ruin, and both administrative and academic standards have deteriorated significantly. “he added.
Sachdeva highlighted that over the past decade, professors and staff at these 12 public universities have rarely received their salaries on time or in full.
According to Sachdeva, these 12 universities need around Rs 1,200 crore annually to maintain their operations effectively, but the government only provides Rs 400 crore in installments. This approach simply creates a facade of fulfilling your responsibilities.
The Delhi BJP president also criticized the government, saying that whether it is Manish Sisodia or Atishi Marlena, they have always released the funds budgeted for these universities in installments. Each delivery is accompanied by a press conference as if it were an extra subsidy.
