Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national spokesperson Saurabh Bhardwaj on Sunday claimed that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders do not want the poor and the middle-class children to learn English
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national spokesperson Saurabh Bhardwaj on Sunday claimed that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders do not want the poor and the middle-class children to learn English, even as all the BJP leaders send their children to expensive private schools and colleges abroad.
Bhardwaj was reacting to BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi comments in which he criticised CM Arvind Kejriwal’s initiative to teach English to the youth of Delhi in a TV debate.
Bhardwaj said, “BJP leaders send their children to English-medium schools and foreign universities but tell the public that studying English will enslave them. The BJP has a problem with children from poor families speaking in fluent English; this exposes the anti-poor mentality of BJP. BJP’s biggest ideologues Deen Dayal Upadhyaya, Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, and Savarkar all studied in English-medium schools and colleges. Sitting BJP ministers Smriti Irani, Jyotiraditya Scindia, Hardeep Puri, Piyush Goyal and VK Singh studied in top-class English schools, some in foreign universities too.
“Children of Rajnath Singh, S Jaishankar, Piyush Goyal, Jyotiraditya Scindia, Gajendra Shekhawat, and Harshwardhan are studying in elite schools and colleges abroad. Yet, BJP wants the poor’s child to not study English. The BJP wants to use the children of poor children to incite riots, they want them to stay unemployed. It wants to stop free education and healthcare so the poor remain suppressed even after 75 years of independence, “he pointed out.
AAP National Convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal also tweeted, “Why does BJP want to stop children of the poor and middle class from learning English?”
Deputy CM Manish Sisodia tweeted, “Every poor and middle class family has every right to live a dignified life by making their children learn English to get better employment opportunities. BJP leaders teach their children in English-medium schools and yet put all kinds of obstacles in the education of the children of the poor; Why does BJP hate the poor so much?”
