Tiwari claimed that private schools were sending notices to parents of school children asking them to pay Rs 10,000 to 40,000.
"I have got copies of notices from parents associations that clearly say that the Delhi government's Directorate of Education (DoE) has in a letter, dated October 17, allowed the schools to raise and realise increased fee from the parents," he said in a press conference.
The government should immediately withdraw the DoE letter that is enabling private schools to charge increased fee, he said.
"The government has kept mum on the issue," he alleged.
Tiwari also claimed a large number of deaths of destitute in the city in the winter season this year and added that he would raise the issue in Parliament.
