"BJP Has Failed": Arvind Kejriwal After Bomb Threats To 3 Delhi Schools
New Delhi: Former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday lashed out at the BJP, saying its "four-engine" government has failed to maintain law and order after three schools in the national capital received bomb threats. The threats were sent via e-mail to the Delhi Public School, the Modern Convent School, and the Shri Ram World School – all in the Dwarka area – triggering panic among students and prompting evacuation of the premises. "Several schools in Dwarka, including Delhi Public School, Dwarka, once again received bomb threats today. Schools in Delhi keep receiving such threats repeatedly, but to date, no one has been caught and no action has been taken," Mr Kejriwal said in a post in Hindi on X. 'The BJP can neither manage Delhi nor maintain law and order. The BJP's so-called 'four-engine government' has completely failed in Delhi," he added. Senior AAP leader Atishi echoed similar views and said children and parents are living in fear. "The series of threats to schools is not stopping. Once again, schools in Delhi have received bomb threats. What exactly is the Delhi Police doing? Children and parents are living in fear, but the BJP's so-called four-engine government has failed to provide them security," she said on X. AAP leaders use the 'four-engine' term to refer to the BJP being at the helm at the Centre, in Delhi, in the MCD, and also 'controlling' the lieutenant governor's office.

SC dismisses AAP MP's plea against UP government shutting 105 primary schools
The Supreme Court on Monday refused to hear a petition filed by Aam Aadmi Party MP Sanjay Singh challenging the Uttar Pradesh government's decision to shut down 105 primary schools, Live Law reported. A bench of Justices Dipankar Datta and AG Masih noted that the matter is pending before the Allahabad High Court. It agreed to Singh's request to direct the High Court to hear the matter expeditiously. In June, the Uttar Pradesh government had ordered the closure of the schools after finding that they had either zero or very few students enrolled. The state government had said that they would be 'paired' with other institutions. In his petition, Singh had argued that the state government's decision was 'arbitrary, unconstitutional and legally impermissible'. He added that it would negatively affect the access to education of many children in the state. Singh also said that the order violated children's right to education under Article 21A of the Constitution and the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009. The MP told the court that the Right to Education Rules require the establishment of a primary school within one kilometre of every habitation with at least 300 residents. The Uttar Pradesh government has defended the move as part of a policy restructuring and alignment with the National Education Policy 2020, arguing that sustaining schools with negligible student strength was inefficient, the Hindustan Times reported.
