94,000 govt schools closed by the govt: Dipke
Around 94,000 government schools have been closed in the country, he added and criticised the government’s priorities of building a new house for the prime minister and a new parliament building, while there are no proper schools for children.
Dipke also said that government schools have been neglected for years and said that improving educational facilities in villages hold paramount importance.
“My friends are still in construction or labourers. I studied in a private school hence I was able to go to America but because they didn't get proper schools, there life is still a struggle. Our focus is on rural schools. Real India is in a village,” he added.
Highlighting that the Member of Parliament (MPs) and the Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) receive funds for development works, and said that this is the opportunity that they should improve school infrastructure.
Emphasising that the elections are approaching in several states, Dipke said that political parties should have to prioritise education if they want votes.
In addition, he also said that politics should be decided on education and not on religion.
