The whole point behind doing this story was not that why teachers were put on such duty. Previous governments have been doing so forever. Nothing new. The point was, it was done in the govt which promised it WON’T. For those who read, thanks a lot!

Contrary to claims of CM @BhagwantMann , Punjab govt has put at least 300 teachers on duty today as “bus-incharges” who will ferry AAP workers to Amritsar for @ArvindKejriwal event and also “serve refreshments” to them. Teachers will also put “publicity banner” on bus @iepunjab
