Do you agree with Kajol when she says that we are being governed by uneducated politicians? Is there any study to prove this? What can be done to have more educated people in politics?

Recently Bollywood actress Kajol made a controversial statement that political leaders in India are uneducated. What was the need of this statement? Is it just for publicity as she starts a web series on legal matters? Many people considered it was directed against PM Modi because Kajol Devgan (nee Mukherjee) made the statement during an interview with leftist librandµ media ‘The Quint’ (these librandµs consider themselves journalists). She was heavily trolled by Modi/BJP supporters and hence she had to issue a clarification.

PM Modi’s education, family background, caste etc. do not matter at all due to his continious election wins for last 2 decades based on pure economic performance, in Gujarat and then rest of India. His leadership qualities is appreciated nationally and internationally.

It is important to re-look into the issue she raised. When Nelson Mandela became South Africa President in early 1990s, after spending decades in jail under apartheid regime, his top priority was quality education. Many African tribes, demanded reservations in education sector, govt sector & in private sector. Nelson Mandela replied that he will not allow any type of reservations in any sector i.e., in education sector, in govt sector & in private sector at any cost, because reservations & the products of reservations will destroy the whole nation, as per him!

The famous statement of Nelson Mandela is displayed at the entrance of the University of South Africa thus: "Destroying any nation does not require the use of atomic bombs or the use of long range missiles. It only requires lowering the quality of education and allowing cheating in the examinations by the students."

Patients die at the hands of such quack doctors.

Buildings collapse at the hands of such dubious engineers.

Money is lost in the hands of such bankers, economists & accountants.

Humanity dies at the hands of such pseudo religious scholars.

Justice is lost at the hands of such corrupt judges...

"The collapse of education is the collapse of a nation.” How relevant to today’s India!

Now, let’s look at some Indian scenarios. Bihar is one of the most backward state on almost all parameters. What is the condition of education there? A photo of cheating during school exam went viral nearly a decade ago and was highlighted by international media. International media, be it western, Chinese or Pakistani, all try to project India in a negative way.

Now, let’s look at the education level of Bihar minister. This data is as per RTI reply-

Most un-educated family is running (or ruining) Bihar for last 4 decades. Laloo is out on bail on health ground but doing politics as usual

Now let’s look at Arvind Kejriwal’s AAP member’s education background who recently launched ‘degree dikhao’ (show your degree) drama.

Arvind Kejriwal – Delhi CM (without any responsibility) – IIT Kharagpur Engineer

Bhagwant Mann – Punjab CM – B Com

Saurabh Bhardwaj – Engineer

Atishi Marlina – Education – Post Graduate (Oxford)

Raghav Chaddha – Rajya Sabha MP – CA

Manish Sisodia – ex Education – High school Philkhwa, Journalism diploma (not a graduate)

Sanjay Singh - Rajya Sabha MP – Diploma Engineer

Kejriwal claims to be the most educated politician not just in India or in whole world but in the entire galaxy! Before him also India had IIT backround politicians like Ajit Singh (son of ex-PM Charan Singh), Manohar Parrikar etc. who remained humble. But Kejriwal is arrogant, urban naxalite, communist, librandµ, and anarchist, always blames others and fight with others who stand in front of him (this he learned from his mentor Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee who is fighting with everybody since her student days), anti-national who runs his party on Khalistani and middle-east country jeh@di charity money.

Kejriwal is also one of the most uneducated politician. These are his knowledge.

During July 2023 Delhi flooding, Kejriwal blamed Haryana upstream barrage is releasing excess water which caused the flood. It seems Kejriwal doen’t know difference between dam and a barrage. Dams are built on hilly area with objective to store (poundage) water and release them in controlled way. Barrage are made on a river in plains with objecting of diverting water to canals. Okhla barrage in Delhi is an example where Yamuna river water is diverted to Agra canal for agriculture use and NTPC Badarpur thermal power plant (now defunct) to generate electricity. During excessive flooding, diversion canals on barrage are blocked as heavy water flow can damage their embankments while excess water is allowed to flow along the river. This happens with Bhakra-Nangal dam also where Bhakra main canal starts.

Kejriwal earlier caused panic during Covid-19 by saying Singapore variant of Covid-19 virus without any basis and caused diplomatic row. He also caused panic by saying shortage of coal for power generation when he is not handling any coal mining related activity. His government banned bursting of crackers on Hindu festival Diwali without any substantial proof against cracker related pollution. He blamed neighbouring states on winter pollution / smog, high ammonia content in Yamuna leading to froth formation, shortage of oxygen cylinder to PM Modi during critical Covid-19 second phase etc. Besides these, Kejriwal and Mamata Banerjee curse PM Modi on regular basis.

Kejriwal and his party members know that by attacking PM Modi about his degree is the best way to attack rival BJP and divert people from the fact that most of AAP members are uneducated. By picking up fight like BJP vs AAP, Delhi vs Haryana etc. on daily basis will give him much needed media coverage which he will get from media who gets Rs 500 Crore annual advertisement business from him. The situation on Delhi flood has become so ugly that soft speaking Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar, who never utter harsh words had to rudely respond to Kejriwal as ‘uneducated’.
