A delegation of the Gujarat Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) arrived in the national Capital on Tuesday to look into what it called the "fake" Delhi Model of governance, with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) claiming that they had come to learn how people there can also be provided with good schools and hospitals.

Addressing a joint press conference, AAP MLAs Atishi and Sanjeev Jha welcomed the Gujarat BJP delegation and extended an open invitation to them to visit the party headquarters, promising that they will take the delegation members to any of the Delhi Government schools, mohalla clinics and hospital that they wished to see.

Jha said that a delegation of the AAP will visit Gujarat next week from Delhi to see the State Government-run schools and hospitals there, and urged the State unit of the BJP to host the delegation in the same manner. A Delhi BJP leader had said on Monday, "The Gujarat BJP delegation, during its two-day visit, will see how a false and publicity-based Delhi Model is being propagated by Kejriwal ahead of the elections in Gujarat."

The BJP delegation's visit to the national Capital comes in the run-up to the Assembly polls in Gujarat later this.

"We welcome the Gujarat BJP delegation on the behalf of the AAP and the Arvind Kejriwal Government. The Delhi Chief Minister has asked some of us (MLAs) to welcome the delegation," Atishi told the press conference.

"We want to tell the Gujarat BJP delegation through media that we are here in the party office. You come here and tell us which school, mohalla clinic, hospital you want to see. We will definitely take you there. We are happy that you have come," she added.

The Kalkaji MLA claimed that the Government schools in Gujarat are in a very bad shape.

"While more than 6,000 schools in Gujarat have been closed in the last two years, the Government schools in the State are short of more than 19,000 classrooms as per data presented by the State Education Minister in the Assembly," she said.
