Amid the massive showdown over CBI raids on Sisodia and other officials involved in the alleged scam, BJP hit out at the Aam Aadmi Party and touted the articles featuring Delhi government’s educational model and Manish Sisodia in New York Times and UAE-based Khaleej Times as ‘paid news’.

NYT & Khaleej Times have exact same articles printed with exact same works, same pics and guess what same writer.

This is not news @ArvindKejriwal . This is called paid advertising. #ManishSisodia will have to go where he deserves to be. That is jail. pic.twitter.com/W9vuuwKJBh
