BJP's resolution lauds Modi govt's achievements, flays GA's ‘appeasement politics'
Around 1,200 BJP leaders and office-bearers, including all party MPs, MLAs and MLCs, in the presence of defence minister Rajnath Singh, also passed a censure motion against Lalu for allegedly disrespecting Baba Saheb B R Ambedkar on June 11.
The resolution highlighted the welfare schemes launched by PM Narendra Modi to benefit 80 crore beneficiaries in the country in his 11 years of the NDA govt.
The BJP also passed a 'Vijay Sankalp Prastav' declaring that "Lalu and his allies cannot defeat us" in the state assembly polls this year.
The resolution attacked Lalu's son Tejashwi Prasad Yadav and Congress leaders Kanhaiya Kumar and Imran Pratapgarhi for protesting against the Waqf Act in a rally in Patna Gandhi Maidan recently.
"Their stand is anti-Constitution and in line with the politics of appeasement, much to the detriment of Pasmanda Muslims, who have been victims of oppression for centuries," the resolution reads.
"BJP will never compromise on the welfare of any section of society.

The benefits of Waqf (Amendment) Act will be reaped by the generations to come," it reads further.
The political resolution also criticised the Emergency imposed by the Congress govt 50 years ago and lauded Rajnath Singh for "giving a strong message to China against double standards towards terror by refusing to sign the joint statement at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Defence Ministers' meeting recently.
Dedicating the 'Vijay Sankalp Prastav' to "Mata Sita", it mentioned the Bihar govt's decision to sanction Rs 882 crore for the development of her birthplace at Punaura Dham in Sitamarhi district.
The Vijay Sankalp Prastav also highlighted the state's economic growth under the NDA rule, besides pointing out the Centre's nod for conducting caste census in the country.

AAP raises alarm over Delhi School Fee Regulation Bill
New Delhi: The Delhi government's newly introduced School Fee Regulation Bill has triggered sharp criticism from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), with the party accusing the administration of siding with private school managements and ignoring the concerns of parents. The bill, tabled in the Delhi Assembly, aims to regulate fee hikes in private schools across the capital. However, AAP legislators, led by Opposition Leader Atishi, argue that the bill is fundamentally flawed and demands urgent amendments before it is passed. Atishi alleged that the bill had been drafted to benefit private school owners rather than serve the interests of students and parents. 'The structure of the fee regulation committee is problematic. It is led by members of the school management, and only five parent representatives are included, cho-sen through a draw of slips,' she said. AAP has proposed an amendment to Section 4 of the bill, demanding that the number of parent representatives be increased to ten. Additionally, they insist that these members be elected through a general body election of parents rather than random added that the MLA from Bu-rari has officially requested that the bill be sent to a Select Committee, so that parents' perspectives can be properly incorporated into the legislative process. Highlighting the persistent rise in private school fees, Atishi accused the BJP of failing to act on the issue. She stated that the AAP Legislative Party has proposed a fee freeze,schools should not be al-lowed to charge more than their 2024–25 academic year fees until their accounts have been audit-ed. Under AAP's proposal, all private schools would be required to submit their previous year's financial records for audit by a regulatory committee. These audited reports would then be shared with par-ents, who would have 15 days to submit feedback. Only after this feedback process would the committee be allowed to make fee-related decisions. 'The BJP's reluctance to audit school accounts raises questions about transparency. Without proper audits, there is no accountability,' she said. AAP also raised concerns about restrictive provisions in the bill that hinder parents' ability to file complaints. As it stands, the bill mandates that a complaint can only be considered if it has the signa-tures of at least 15 percent of all parents in the school. Atishi called this clause undemocratic and unworkable, especially for smaller groups of concerned parents. 'We have demanded an amend-ment so that if even 15 parents submit a complaint, it must be addressed,' she said. Moreover, AAP expressed alarm over a clause that removes the right of parents to challenge the fee committee's decision in court. According to the bill, once the committee delivers its verdict, parents would be barred from seeking judicial review.
