“Instead of working hard to please Modi, the state government should first ensure availability of textbooks to needy children under the Sarva Siksha Abhiyan,” Gujarat Pradesh Congress Committee spokesperson Manish Doshi said.
“Even if you include Modi's life in school syllabus, who will teach that to students? Because, there is an acute shortage of teaching staff in state run schools. We condemn such acts of undue publicity,” Doshi said. Chudasama said that Narendra bhai's life was full of struggle. However, he overcame all the hurdles in life and rose to such a high position due to his ability and high self esteem.
“Usually, youngsters take inspiration from great leaders. Narendra bhai lived a life which can definitely inspire the young generation. Thus, we are exploring ways to include some important events of his life in the state school syllabus,” he said.
“In the beginning, he proved himself ideal party worker. He proved his mettle as ideal organizational leader, and then as Gujarat chief minister, he proved himself to be an able administrator,” he added.
