Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva on Saturday lashed out at AAP leaders including Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, Atishi Marlena, and Saurabh Bharadwaj, accusing the party of shedding "crocodile tears" over issues like education reforms and private school fees while in power, without taking any concrete action.

Sachdeva hailed the works done by the central government during the past 11 years, and added that the PM Modi-led dispensation has practiced positive politics by delivering hundreds of development schemes to the country.
