AAP dares Gujarat govt to give real figures of school enrolment

AHMEDABAD: Aam Aadmi Party today alleged that Gujarat government was "cheating" people by not disclosing "real" figures of school enrolment drive and dared it to come out with facts.


The state unit of AAP also asked the Narendra Modi government to give actual figures of the enrolment drive of the last 12 years.

"The Gujarat chief minister must answer the questions regarding the future of children rather than showing a rosy picture of the state's development," AAP said in a release.

Modi government has been organising school enrolment drive for the last twelve years and claiming that 100 % children are enrolled.

AAP alleged the state government never declares the exact number of children up to five years who are eligible for the enrolment.

"The government has not been intentionally revealing the difference between eligible children and the children who are enrolled," the release said.

AAP accused the state government of "powerful in self projection" for never putting both these figures together on its website.

"Modi government has been misguiding and cheating the people of the state by not putting real figures of school enrolment drive on its website," AAP said.

"On one hand, the state government has been claiming its leanings towards E-governance but after 2006-07 they did not put the figures of school enrolment drive," it added.
