Addressing a statement issued from the party headquarters in Lucknow, former UP CM Akhilesh Yadav alleged that the BJP earlier attempted to close around 27,000 govt schools in Uttar Pradesh under the pretext of “merger” and now admitted in the Rajya Sabha that 18,727 govt schools shut over the past 5 years. SP Chief Akhilesh Yadav argued that access to education ensures awareness and scientific temper, which, he said, runs counter to the BJP’s ideological outlook. This, he said, weakened the relationship between teachers, students, and parents. Calling education a key electoral issue, former CM Akhilesh Yadav said the upcoming elections would see strong public backlash, particularly from women, teachers, and families affected by school closures. He also hinted at expanding the party’s symbolic “PDA Pathshala” campaign into a larger movement to safeguard education rights.
He further alleged that teachers in govt schools are often assigned non-academic duties, affecting the quality of education and lowering teacher morale.
