JALANDHAR: The Punjab government maintained a stoic silence on the state's top ranking in National Achievement Survey (NAS) 2021 conducted by the Union ministry of education in November 2021. Questioning the silence and chief minister Bhagwant Mann's failure to congratulate Punjab teachers and schools, opposition party leaders also took digs at AAP's promotion of 'Delhi model' as the national capital has lagged behind in all classes in the survey.
Punjab Congress president Amrinder Singh Raja Warring tweeted: "This might be the first time in history that a chief minister is not happy with his state's exceptional performance. Punjab has ranked No.1 in the national education survey and the CM @BhagwantMann ji hasn't said anything to congratulate the hard work of our teachers."
