Malda: The BJP on Sunday alleged that anarchy was prevailing in the West Bengal education sector and that democracy was at stake under the ruling Trinamool Congress. “There is an atmosphere of total anarchy in the education sector. Democracy is at stake,” state BJP president Dilip Ghosh told a press conference here.
He said education had taken a backseat in schools and colleges which had become the hotbed of militant student activity. Teachers were being threatened by students and education had lost its sanctity. Students were attending schools only for midday meals, Mr Ghosh added.
Mr Ghosh said democracy was at stake in the state and elections were marred by violence. The opposition parties such as the Left Front and the Congress had lost their relevance, Mr Ghosh added. He claimed the BJP had emerged as the principal opposition party in the state.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will organise fairs at 50 different locations in the state to make people aware of the schemes and achievements of the Modi government in its last three years of office.
“The party will organise fairs at 50 different locations in West Bengal between June 9 to June 11. As many as 25 party leaders and Union ministers will attend the ‘mela’,” he added.
Asked about the possibility of PCC president Adhir Chowdhury joining the BJP, Mr Ghosh said, “If he joins the party, he will be welcome, but no such proposal has yet been made from his side.”
