On Monday coming down heavily on Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Prime Minister Narendra Modi alleged that it was promoting only those students to Class 10 who were certain to pass the board exams in order to protect its image. In an interaction with the students, PM Modi revealed that he had heard that Delhi’s government was not allowing students who performed poorly in Class 9 to progress to Class 10.
PM Modi said, “They only allow those students in Class 10 who are guaranteed to clear the exam. They fear that if the results are poor, the image of their government will be tarnished”. The short video of his remarks was shared widely by BJP leaders on social media. BJP leaders accused the AAP government of compromising students’ futures to give the appearance of success in its education system.
As the Delhi Assembly elections approach, with voting set for February 5 and results on February 8, the battle between AAP, BJP, and Congress heats up.
