Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal yesterday laid the foundation of building 11,000 new classrooms for city’s government schools and used the occasion to attack Prime Minister Narendra Modi asking parents to choose between “love for Modi and the future of their children”.

“If you love your children, vote for those who are working for your children and if you do not love your children then go and vote for Modi. Modi has not built even a single classroom or a school. You have to choose between love for nation and future of your children or love for Modi,” Kejriwal said while addressing the children and parents at Sarvodaya Kanya Vidyalaya after laying the foundation.

Deputy CM Manish Sisodia told the students to thank their parents as they voted for Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the last legislative assembly elections. “Outside the schools, there is an atmosphere in the country where people are doing politics of temple and mosque. But the Delhi government is doing politics of building schools and education. If your parents had not voted for AAP in 2015, how could the party have worked for you and Delhi,” Sisodia said.
