Overview
- AAP leaders released videos and worker testimonies claiming sanitation workers, teachers and anti-malaria staff were ordered onto buses and threatened with suspension if they refused to attend a rally in Rohini.
- The party displayed a note purportedly from the Deputy Commissioner of Education instructing MCD school teachers to gather at pickup points by 7 a.m. for the Prime Minister’s event.
- MCD Mayor Raja Iqbal Singh rejected the accusations, asserting that no directives were issued and that employees attended voluntarily to hear Prime Minister Modi inaugurate major road projects.
- The rally coincided with the inauguration of the Dwarka Expressway and Urban Extension Road-II and fell on the Janmashtami holiday, which AAP says compounded the imposition.
- Coverage so far records competing claims but no independent verification or formal inquiry outcome has been made public, leaving the dispute unresolved.
