According to media reports, Manish Sisodia also visited the schools of Tarn Taran, Mohali and Gurdaspur in Punjab and instructed the officers. The Punjab government did not give any official information about this visit of Sisodia. Punjab Congress President Amarinder Singh Raja Wading had said that Sisodia can give advice to the education minister of Punjab by sitting in the room. He had said that if Manish Sisodia has to visit schools, then he should be resigned from Harjot Singh Bains and made him an education minister.
