Priyanka Gandhi attacked the BJP over the plight of shiksha mitras or contractual teachers in UP, alleging the ruling party leaders are busy marketing T-shirts instead of attending to those suffering
Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Monday attacked the BJP over the plight of ‘shiksha mitras’ or contractual teachers in Uttar Pradesh, alleging the ruling party leaders are busy marketing T-shirts instead of attending to those suffering.
Hundreds of ‘shiksha mitras’ have been protesting and pressing for better pay and appointment as assistant teachers in the state.
“The hard work of Uttar Pradesh’s ‘shiksha mitras’ is insulted everyday. Scores of sufferers committed suicide. Those who took to the streets to protest were beaten with lathis, National Security Act was registered against them,” the AICC incharge Uttar Pradesh East tweeted.
उत्तर प्रदेश के शिक्षामित्रों की मेहनत का रोज़ अपमान होता है, सैकड़ों पीड़ितों नें आत्महत्या कर डाली। जो सड़कों पर उतरे सरकार ने उनपर लाठियाँ चलाई, रासुका दर्ज किया। भाजपा के नेता टीशर्टों की मार्केट्टिंग में व्यस्त हैं, काश वे अपना ध्यान दर्दमंदों की ओर भी डालते। #Sanchibaat pic.twitter.com/eBeyNSt3va

“BJP leaders are busy marketing T-shirts, I wish they had paid attention to those suffering,” she claimed.
