Delhi in Turmoil: BJP's Teacher Transfer Sparks Controversy

Delhi's education system faces disruption as BJP orders mass transfer of 5,000 government school teachers. Minister Gopal Rai accuses the BJP of trying to undermine the Kejriwal government by applying pressure on officers. Education Minister Atishi has called for an immediate halt to the transfers.

In a fresh political upheaval, the education system in Delhi faces severe disruption following the BJP's recent mandate to transfer 5,000 government school teachers. Delhi minister Gopal Rai criticized the BJP for attempting to dismantle the robust education framework established by the Kejriwal government, attributing the move to political vendetta.

Rai highlighted that the BJP's 'Kam Roko Abhiyan' aimed at creating operational hurdles for the Aam Aadmi Party-led administration, had now reached alarming levels. The minister emphasized the global recognition of Delhi's education system and warned that these actions could paralyze it.

A directive from the Education Department mandated that teachers who have served over 10 years at a particular school must apply for transfers. Failure to comply would result in forced transfers. Responding to the crisis, Education Minister Atishi has called for an immediate cessation of these directives, denouncing the transfers as politically motivated.
