Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal issues an open challenge to the Bharatiya Janata Party to compare 1,000 schools in Punjab with 1,000 in Gujarat. Kejriwal says the BJP attempts to discredit Punjab’s government school system using doctored or manipulated videos. He argues that Punjab’s schools have improved substantially over about four and a half years.
Kejriwal credits the people and teachers for the change and says efforts continue across the state, including upgrades and ongoing work in thousands of schools. One report notes that about 19,200 schools are now considered “very good.” The two outlets frame the episode as a direct political challenge rather than as a new assessment of school performance, and they center on Kejriwal’s claims about how the BJP is presenting information.
