Manish Sisodia alleges UP government used police to stop him from visiting a school

Delhi’s Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has alleged that the Education Minister of Uttar Pradesh Dr Satish Dwivedi used police force to stop him from visiting a government school.

Sisodia was in Lucknow as he accepted a challenge thrown by the UP government to debate on "Delhi Model vs Yogi Model of Education"

Besides, UP’s education minister had also invited both of them to visit government schools in Uttar Pradesh.

Sisodia retweeted a tweet of the news agency ANI in which it was reported that UP Basic Education Minister Satish Dwivedi had invited Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and his deputy Manish Sisodia to visit schools in Uttar Pradesh.

“It will open their eyes. They want to enter the politics of UP with this issue,” the Education Minister was quoted as saying.

Responding to the tweet, Sisodia wrote that he came to Lucknow for the debate but Singh didn’t accept his challenge.

He also wrote that he would visit a school in Lucknow. Later, he tweeted that he was stopped by police while he was on his way to visit the school.

He directly alleged that the UP government has got scared that his visit would expose their shortcomings and that was the reason he was stopped with the help of police.

He also posted a video in which he was talking to the Police Commissioner on phone and telling him that he couldn't stop him from going anywhere in the city.
