Speaking at the education experts meeting organised by the Peoples’ Education Forum against scrapping NEP in Bengaluru, Bommai said that that Congress are claiming that NEP is not a good policy.

“Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar has announced scrapping of NEP. Congress dubs NEP as Nagpur Education Policy. Will you implement the SEP which stands for Sonia Gandhi Education Policy? Sonia Gandhi stands for Italy and it is in Europe. They want to implement Europen education i.e. Macaulay Education policy,” he said.

“You have power and can change policy but there will be movement by the people against the move. There is no surprise that this government is opposing NEP. They have gathered few vice chancellors and without discussion decided over the matter. It is a tragedy that VCs have not questioned the decision,” he said.

He said that the education stands for liberated thoughts. The experts have given their opinion but the government is not ready to listen.

“People have stood against tall personalities when they were wrong. If you think after coming to power you can do anything, people will teach you a lesson,” Bommai said.

He said that Congress can oppose BJP but why are they punishing the students.

“There should be uniformity in education. CBSE education is only available to the rich. The present education system does not have accountability,” he said.

‘No difference between Congress, PFI’: Karnataka BJP

Bengalore: Coming down heavily on the Congress for demanding a ban on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) on the lines of the Popular Front of India, the ruling BJP has equated the PFI with the Congress. Minister for Education B.C. Nagesh said on Friday that there was no difference between the ideologies of the Congress party and the PFI. “I don’t know what Congress leaders know about the RSS. A few of them want votes of Muslims and that is why they are demanding a ban on the RSS,” he said. “RSS is a patriotic organisation. It is not getting any funds from the government. It is not important whether it is registered or not. RSS is working for the welfare of the country. But, PFI is indulging in anti-national activities,” he stated.
