Punjab Congress president and Ludhiana MP Amarinder Singh Raja Warring on Saturday slammed the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government, claiming that the party has failed to fulfill its core promises, especially in the education sector.

Warring, campaigning for his wife Amrita Warring, who is the Congress candidate from Gidderbaha, said the Aam Aadmi Party, which won Punjab on the basis of their so-called education revolution, betrayed the state’s faith and completely dismantled the education system in the state.

Warring claimed that under the Congress-led government, Punjab achieved the highest national ranking in the 2020-21 School Education Performance Assessment Index (PIG). “The AAP government has destroyed what we have worked so hard to build. Instead of progress, they left teachers protesting in the streets, fighting for the basic rights and appointment letters that Congress had promised them.”

During the election campaign, Amrita Warring also criticized AAP for neglecting the teachers and students of the state.

“Schools are still operating with minimal staff, teachers who were promised jobs remain unemployed, and the few who are employed are forced to manage entire schools on their own. This government must be shown the door for these inadequacies,” she said.
