Manish Sisodia, the deputy chief minister of Delhi, met with V.K. Saxena, the lieutenant governor of Delhi, on Friday to discuss the continuation of the “Dilli ki Yogshala” programme.
“I have humbly requested the L-G to not halt the yoga classes, as most of the 17,000 people doing yoga are affected by post-Covid ailments, and it is the responsibility. of the government to keep them healthy. The L-G has told me that he will peruse the file and has assured me that nothing will go wrong,” the Deputy Chief Minister said after the meeting.
Sisodia said: “I have spoken with the L-G in detail as to how well the ‘Dilli ki Yogshala’ initiative is being undertaken across Delhi, and how it shall prove to be beneficial for our citizens. At least 17,000 common citizens of Delhi, who do not have the financial capacity to hire a yoga instructor and cannot even imagine that they will be able to do the same, are being provided access to fully trained yoga instructors — who go to various parks in the citizens’ vicinities and guide their yoga classes daily.”
Sisodia claimed that the BJP had planned a scheme to thwart the project by intimidating and threatening government employees, ensuring that they would create the documents wrongly as a result.

“I have requested the L-G saying that political differences have their own time and place, but out of the 17,000 people doing yoga daily, most are citizens who are affected by post-Covid ailments. It is the responsibility of the government to keep them healthy. It is a very onerous situation that the Chief Minister of Delhi provides yoga instructors to the people of Delhi to do yoga and then the officers are stopped from running the scheme by intimidation,” Deputy CM said.
Sisodia also claimed that the BJP had zero regards for either the populace or yoga. CM Arvind Kejriwal initiated the initiative, hence the BJP is canceling it.
