New Delhi, Aug 19: Aam Aadmi Party was disparaged by the BJP as “nothing but paid promotion” hours after a report on Delhi’s educational system appeared in The New York Times and Khaleej Times.
The New York Times has been given credit for the news by the Khaleej Times.
“How is it that New York Times and Khaleej Times carry exactly the same article, word by word, authored by the same person, same pictures (that too of a private school) on Delhi’s non-existent education model? Arvind Kejriwal’s best defence is nothing but paid promotion,” tweeted the BJP’s IT cell chief, Amit Malviya.

Punit Agarwal, who oversees the IT cell of the party’s Delhi unit, said: “NYT & Khaleej Times have exact same articles printed with exact same works, same pics and guess what same writer. This is not news Arvind Kejriwal. This is called paid advertising. Manish Sisodia will have to go where he deserves to be. That is jail.”

This occurs on the same day that the CBI conducted a raid on the residence of Manish Sisodia, the deputy chief minister of Delhi, in relation to the new alcohol policy. The national capital administration of his party implemented a policy that sparked accusations of corruption before being changed. CBI agents searched 20 locations in six states and the national capital area.
Four government employees, including Manish Sisodia, have been named in the FIR, a CBI officer told news agency ANI. Manish Sisodia, meantime, has denied all of the accusations levelled against him and has pledged to assist the probe. The deputy to Arvind Kejriwal also expressed regret that those who perform in the nation face such harassment.
Since the raids, AAP has been working nonstop to publicise The New York Times front page article on “Delhi’s education model.” Excise and education are two of the several ministries Manish Sisodia manages.
