“There are many vacancies in key teaching and non-teaching positions - a huge gap persists in the sanctioned and filled positions both among the teaching and non-teaching staff in Delhi government schools,” Gupta said.

Reacting to Gupta’s statement, AAP Spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj said the recruitment in Delhi government are handled by LG appointed by the Centre.
