Karnataka News | BJP Attacks Congress After Parliament Data On Karnataka Govt Schools Shutdown
A political storm in Karnataka after the Centre informed Parliament that 676 government schools have shut down across the state. The Congress government insists there were no forced closures, with Education Minister Madhu Bangarappa blaming falling enrolments and migration of students to other schools. He argues similar shutdowns have happened in BJP-ruled states as well. The BJP, however, has hit back hard, accusing the Congress of betraying voters and failing to improve the quality of government education. Opposition leaders say the government is dodging responsibility instead of addressing teacher shortages and infrastructure issues. With both sides trading charges, the big question remains – can the Karnataka government justify these closures amid growing criticism?
