Gopal Rai, member of AAP’s executive committee, told reporters here that the private schools built on government land in Delhi were minting money by violating the seat allotment conditions.

The Delhi government in 2007 allowed 20 percent reservation for poor students in 395 schools built on government land. However, a notification in 2011 reduced the admission quota for poor students to 15 percent.
