Delhi Assembly Speaker Ram Niwas Goel on Thursday decided to form a special committee over alleged improper answer by officials regarding a proposal of Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia.

In his reply on a motion of thanks over the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government's budget for 2019-20, Sisodia said it was based on the dreams of soldiers of the country.

Sisodia explained how he took personal interest in supervising a makeover of school education in Delhi in the past four years as the education minister.

A four-minute video on the poor condition of schools when the AAP came to power and its transformation under Sisodia was shown during his speech.

"I felt this video should be shown in cinema halls and television. But, officers of education department in writing denied it, questioning how could they believe the video showed government schools," he said.

Gesturing at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) members in the House, the AAP leader charged: "They have intentionally got such officers posted in the Delhi government."
