The bizarre suggestion of the saffron politician has raised the eyebrow of many, suspecting the party’s commitment to education.
Taking to X, Congress Thiruvandanapuram MP Shashi Tharoor stated that when people are concerned about education and employment, the frank admission of the BJP MLA is a pretension of his own government. “Just when all are concerned about the state of education & lack of employment, comes this frank admission from a BJP MLA that “punctures” the pretensions of his own government. Does anyone still need to ask which party has the better ideas for India’s future? @INCIndia,” the Congress leader wrote.
