A political log-jam has been raking up between the CMs of Delhi and Assam, where both of the leaders have hit out at each other on microblogging site Twitter over Assam Government’s decision to shut down 34 schools due to zero pass percentage in the Class 10 examination.

Earlier today in the latest war-of-words that have ensued in Twitter with regards to the education system in Assam, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has once again took a dig at Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, stating that both the leaders should visit each other’s states and learn about the education system being implemented there.
