Independent India made mistake, didn’t focus on education: Arvind Kejriwal

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday launched his party’s ‘Make India No. 1’ campaign, claiming the country made the mistake of not giving importance to education when it gained Independence.

Beginning the campaign from his home district Hissar, he also accused the ruling BJP in Haryana and the state’s previous Congress government of shutting government schools. He called it a “very dangerous” trend for the country.

“The country should have focused on education. We should have focused on building good government schools in every nook and corner, every village and mohalla in war mode in 1947,” the Delhi chief minister told reporters, pointing at the “mistake” made after Independence.
