A.H. Vishwanath, MLC, flayed the State government for what he termed ‘a mess of the education system in Karnataka’ and described it as a fallout of the failure to implement the National Education Policy in spirit.
Addressing a press conference here on Wednesday, Mr. Vishwanath, known to be critical of the BJP, turned his guns on the Congress and flayed it on ‘’mismanagement’’ of the education system. He referred to the Supreme Court judgment staying the announcement of board exams conducted for Classes 5, 8, 9 and 11, said similar attempts were made by the BJP in the past and the Congress was now persisting with it.
Mr. Vishwanath said the State Government move was in violation of the Right To Education Act passed by the Manmohan Singh Government and the Supreme Court had passed strictures against Karnataka government.
