Aam Aadmi Party national convenor and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal targeted the Bharatiya Janata Party on Sunday morning and accused the ruling party of “ruining” education at the Center. He said that the BJP wants to keep the entire country illiterate.
Former Delhi Chief Minister Kejriwal, while questioning the ruling party over the Gujarat model, questioned the X, “This is a Gujarat model. It is a BJP model, which he wants to implement in the whole country. It is a double engine model. They want to keep the whole country illiterate. You tell me a state where they have a government and they have not ruined education there.”
He further argued that the BJP is also “destroying” the education system in Delhi. Kejriwal said, “Under this model they are now trying to destroy Delhi’s education system too.”
He was responding to a post shared by Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav, which had a news report, which wrote, “No student passed in class 10 in 157 schools.” It should be noted that the news report was published in May 2023.
Yadav posted on X, “The Gujarat model has failed itself … Not a single student in 157 schools in Gujarat has passed the 10th board exam. We will remove the BJP and save the future!”
On Friday, Kejriwal said that after recent alleged fees in many private schools, the education system in the national capital has been completely trapped in the clutches of mafia under the BJP government.
Reacting to the protests being held in schools recently for fees hike, Arvind Kejriwal said in a post on X, “The people of Delhi are once again completely at the mercy of the education mafia. How did the education mafia dare to abuse our children? Because the leaders and ministers are in their pockets – just as they used to come before our government came to power.”
Delhi AAP President Saurabh Bhardwaj made a scathing attack on the BJP government and said that the ministers of the ruling party have no information about the situation in Delhi.
He said, “Parents are protesting outside private schools and BJP ministers are busy playing the game of ‘Government School-Government School’. They should go to the place of problem and solve it. But they are afraid of private school owners.”
