‘Determined to destroy education’: AAP MP Sanjay Singh accused the government of prioritizing liquor; Start the campaign on school closure. Bharat News

Aam Aadmi Party’s Uttar Pradesh in -charge and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh on Monday launched a brilliant attack on the state -led government on the educational infrastructure of the state.He said it was shameful that in a state where millions of children study in government schools, thousands of these schools are either closed or working in unsafe and collapse buildings, while liquor shops are growing rapidly. “The Yogi government is snatching books from children and handing them bottles of liquor to them,” Sanjay said.Citing official data, Singh said that Uttar Pradesh has 1.93 lakh vacant teaching posts at the primary level. Additionally, 3,872 posts are incomplete in secondary education and 8,714 in senior secondary education. He said that even though the government accepts about two lakh vacant teacher posts, no serious recruitment scheme has been announced. “Why is the Yogi government silent on more than 2 lakh teachers vacancies?” He asked.In many districts, the entire primary schools are being managed by only one teacher. In prayer alone, 633 schools have been declared dangerous due to their poor structural status.Singh alleged that the Yogi government has already closed more than 27,000 government schools and is preparing to shut down 5,000 more citing fewer student attendance. He said that this decline in enrollment is due to the government’s failure to provide adequate teachers and infrastructure infrastructure, pushing schools into decline.He criticized what he said to “double engine government”, indicating that schools are being closed, 27,308 liquor shops have been opened in the state, even though the government claims that the treasury is empty. “The government cares more about liquor outlets than education,” he said that ₹ 9,167 per student per year in Uttar Pradesh is less than a national average of only Rs 12,768 per year.Singh claimed that the Yogi government does not want children of poor, Dalits, backward classes or farmers to get an education and progress in life. He said that schools are either being merged or left for decay. Singh said, “We will go to the village and tell people that the Yogi government is extracting books from children and giving them bottles of liquor.” “Our campaign with Slogan” We want the school, not liquor shops “, until every child in the state has a teacher, a school and the right to education.”He warned that if the government does not start recruitment of teachers, repairs the dilapidated schools, and those who were closed again, the Aam Aadmi Party will strongly raise the issue, from the streets to the Parliament, and highlight the government at every level.
