Meanwhile, AAP leaders, including ministers and MLAs, participated in PTMs across Amritsar, highlighting welfare schemes and encouraging parental involvement. The BJP criticized the involvement of political figures and alleged politicization of the educational events through mandated video testimonials praising government programs.
