PANJIM: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Goa President Amit Palekar on Thursday said that the statement of Chief Minister Pramod Sawant that his government doesn’t need any advice from political parties demonstrates the arrogance of power.

Addressing a press conference, Palekar said instead of taking AAP’s suggestion positively, the Chief Minister made a statement that he doesn’t need advice from the opposition and his government is capable of running the government schools.

“It is because of the BJP government’s incapability, the number of government schools is on a decline in last 10 years,” he said while adding that the private schools run by some of the BJP functionaries are flourishing. 

Palekar also slammed the Chief Minister for blaming teachers for the deteriorating state of government schools and primary education. 

“Sawant should analyse his performance as Education Minister first,” he said. 

AAP Vice President Surel Tilve demanded that the government should appoint a full-time education minister, noting that Sawant is overloaded with other portfolios.
