Govt school network seems completely broken

I laud the work CJP is doing now to expose the pathetic and criminally poor condition of government schools in India. The government school network is completely broken. BJP government has not only closed tens of thousands of schools in its 12-year tenure but also abandoned their maintenance to a point that they become useless.

Educated people equipped with knowledge and facts who can question their lies and false claims. That’s why they have continuously attacked experts, academicians and journalists. BJP ministers appear stupid and they are but they understand very well how to remain in power, by hook or crook.

BJP realised early on that its primary enemy is educated people. And they went about destroying education at all levels, be it rural or urban, primary or higher education.
