Will open as many schools as no. of summonses sent to me; education will remove poverty: Kejriwal

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday said providing quality education is his government’s goal and asserted that he will open as many schools in the city as the number of summonses sent to him by probe agencies.

After laying the foundation stone of a government school building in Mayur Vihar Phase III, Kejriwal alleged that the BJP-led Centre has unleashed all its probe agencies against him as though he was the “biggest terrorist” of the country.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader has been asked to appear before a city court on February 17 in connection with a complaint case filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) against him. Kejriwal has skipped five summonses issued against him by the federal agency for questioning in a money-laundering case linked to the alleged excise policy scam.
