New Delhi [India], April 7 (ANI): Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and MLA Sanjeev Jha accused the BJP government in Delhi of misleading voters by publicly opposing the settlement of Rohingyas during elections while secretly enabling their accommodation behind the scenes.

Sanjeev Jha claimed that 19 Rohingya children were admitted in two government schools in BJP Minister Kapil Mishra's Karawal Nagar constituency.

Addressing a press conference, senior AAP leader and MLA Sanjeev Jha crticised BJP on the issue of Rohingyas, stating, 'BJP makes Rohingyas an election issue every single time--whether it's elections in Delhi or anywhere else in the country. Today, I will expose how the BJP itself is the one giving protection to Rohingyas.'

Referring to BJP's promises during previous elections, he highlighted, 'In the run-up to the 2025 elections, several top BJP leaders in Delhi publicly declared that if they were voted to power, their first step would be to identify and expel Rohingyas from the city. Even the Union Home Minister himself, while campaigning, said from the stage that if the BJP forms the government in Delhi, then within a year, they would identify and remove all Rohingyas from the city.'

'But after the elections were over and the government was formed, they are actively providing protection to them. Rohingya children are being admitted into government schools in Delhi,' the AAP MLA said.

'The BJP claims they are trying to identify them--but they are not just aware of their presence but are also giving them protection. Nine Rohingya children have been admitted to SKV, a Delhi government school in Khajuri Khas. Ten more children have been admitted to Sarvodaya Bal Vidyalaya, also in Khajuri Khas,' the AAP MLA said.

Sanjeev Jha added, 'While they pretend to go around with torches searching for these people, in reality, they are looking for where to quietly settle them. And now they've been caught red-handed.'

He stressed that both of these schools fall in the Karawal Nagar constituency of Delhi, which is represented by BJP leader Kapil Mishra. 'This is the same Kapil Mishra who, as per a recent court observation, was prima facie found to be involved in the Delhi riots. So you can now clearly see their double standards. It's like the saying goes--an elephant has two sets of tusks: one to show and one to eat with. These people say one thing and do something entirely different,' he asserted.

The AAP MLA highlighted the political motive behind sheltering Rohingyas: 'This clearly shows that Rohingyas are being settled in Delhi and other parts of the country so that BJP can keep using them as an election agenda. Settle them quietly, then cry foul during polls, fight elections over the same issue, and secure votes. (ANI)
