Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday (6 August) strongly criticised the Samajwadi Party (SP), accusing it of turning the education sector into a hub of “malpractice, chaos and caste politics” during its rule, reported The Indian Express.
He made the remarks while inaugurating an Atal Residential School in Moradabad amid ongoing SP protests against the state’s school pairing policy.
Referring to the SP as the “Kaurav Dal,” Adityanath said SP intends to teach children ‘ga se gadha’ instead of ‘ga se Ganpati’.
He said that those who earlier “came to power through appeasement politics now find themselves politically irrelevant — neither connected to society nor concerned about future generations.”
He added, “Power was once treated as a platform for appeasement, turning education into a hub of cheating, chaos, and caste politics.”
He added, “Today, those same people are suddenly concerned about public satisfaction.”
He also questioned SP leaders’ claims about “PDA”, citing that party’s “poor track record” in the education sector.
“This reflects their mindset,” said the CM, pointing out that while the BJP seeks to instill Indian culture and values in children, “SP leaders had no qualms about insulting deities such as Lord Ganesha.”
He further alleged that during SP rule, teacher recruitment remained delayed, and educational standards suffered due to “nepotism and caste-based politics.”
He stated, “For them, mass cheating was a right, not a crime. They gambled with the future of our youths through systematic exam fraud.”
Dedicating the new school to labourers’ children, Adityanath called it a “temple of education” and part of a broader effort.
So far, 18 Atal Residential Schools have been set up, educating over 18,000 underprivileged children across UP.
