Call special session of Assembly to discuss fee hike: Atishi to CM
A day after Delhi Education Minister Ashish Sood announced that an ordinance would be brought in to regulate fees in private schools, senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Leader of the Opposition Atishi on Thursday wrote to Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, asking her to call a special session of the Assembly and debate over the issue. 'If the Bill is brought as an ordinance without any debate or public consultation, it will just confirm the suspicion of the people of Delhi that the BJP government is protecting the interests of private schools, not the parents,' wrote the former CM. The Delhi School Education (Transparency in Fixation and Regulation of Fees) Draft Bill, 2025, which aims to ensure transparency and regulation in the process of increasing fees, was cleared by the Delhi Cabinet in April. Ms. Atishi opined that the draft Bill should be referred to a committee comprising representatives from both the BJP and AAP to conduct a comprehensive consultation with stakeholders.

Karnataka BJP Calls for Accountability in Stampede Tragedy
Bengaluru: BJP demands judicial inquiry, Karnataka Congress government, stampede accountability, B Y Vijayendra's statement, compensation for victims, public safety the wake of a stampede during Royal Challengers Bengaluru's IPL 2025 victory parade near Chinnaswamy Stadium, Karnataka BJP President B Y Vijayendra has called for a judicial inquiry by a sitting High Court judge, accusing the Congress-led state government of gross negligence and an obsession with public relations at the expense of public safety. Vijayendra's demand for accountability comes as the state grapples with the aftermath of the tragedy, with hospitals reporting a grim tally of casualties and the injured still under treatment. In a strongly worded statement on social media platform X, Vijayendra asserted, 'The stampede at Chinnaswamy wasn't an accident, it was a tragedy caused by the Congress government's sheer irresponsibility and PR obsession. I demand a judicial inquiry by a sitting High Court judge and Rs. 50 lakh compensation for each victim's family. The CM & his cabinet must be held accountable.' The BJP leader's call for a judicial probe reflects a broader political narrative of opposition to the Congress government's handling of the event. The tragedy has ignited a fierce debate over event management and public safety protocols, especially given the scale of the gathering, which drew an estimated 2.5 lakh people to the stadium and its vicinity. The tragedy has also prompted a response from the Karnataka government, which has ordered a magisterial inquiry but stopped short of agreeing to a judicial one. This distinction is crucial, as a judicial inquiry would involve higher judicial oversight and potentially more stringent accountability measures. The state has also announced plans to formulate a new Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for mega events, aiming to prevent future incidents.
