The Aam Aadmi Party on Wednesday filed a complaint with the Delhi Police against Bharatiya Janata Party spokesperson Sambit Patra for posting an allegedly doctored video of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, reported PTI.
Last week, Patra had posted an edited 17-second clip of Kejriwal on Twitter, where he could be seen pointing out the “benefits” of the three new farm laws in an interview. However, Twitter had flagged the post as “manipulated media”. Later in a press conference, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia played two videos – the one Patra tweeted, and another one of Kejriwal’s entire comment, which had been edited out of context.

New Delhi [India], February 4 (ANI): Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Thursday alleged that the Union Cabinet has secretly given nod to a bill that would give more power to the Lieutenant Governor.
Sisodia termed the bill as the murder of constitutional democracy and said that the Central government wants to impede Delhi s development and progress by enhancing Lieutenant Governor (LG) s power. The Union Cabinet gave nod to GNCTD (Amendment) Bill in a secretive way yesterday. The Bill would give LG power to stop work being done by the government elected by the people of Delhi. Giving powers to LG means handing it to the Centre and in tandem to BJP. It is against constitution and democracy, Sisodia said.

Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has expressed his displeasure over the Union Budget 2021-2022 presented on Monday by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. Sisodia stated that due to the Covid-19 pandemic that has exposed the poor public health care system of the country, it was expected the government would substantially increase the health care allocation in this year s Budget. He claimed that the Centre has reduced the health care budget instead. The Minister further slammed the BJP-led Central Government alleging that it has bypassed the education and health sectors in this year s budget. Covid-19 pandemic has led to a serious setback in our education system and therefore children should have provided additional allocation in education to take care of this loss. What we see is a reduction in the Ministry of Education budget by 6% (Rs 6000 Cr) - from Rs 99,312 Cr in BE 2020-21 to Rs 93,224 Cr in BE 2021-22, Sisodia claimed in a statement issued by his office.
