Good morning India ! Everyday you hear soooo much about the developments that have happened & are happening during Mamata Banerjee's rule in West Bengal.

Well let me write a short 🧵 & show the actual state of affairs. Please bear with me.

Let me begin by telling you that 1047 schools have shut down in the last 10 yrs in Jhargram & West Medinipur. Yes you read it right. 1047 schools have shut down in only 2 districts.

The primary reason why schools have shut down is lack of teachers. Years after years no teacher has been recruited leading to the closures. Teachers who have retired ages ago have been re-recruited as 'guest teachers'. Most of them are frail with age & can not attend classes.

Students of 3 to 4 classes sit together for lack of teachers. Villagers of these remote villages have written umpteen times to the administration requesting them to recruit teachers to keep these schools running. Requests have fallen on deaf ears.

Activists of local @SFI_CEC @SFI_WestBengal have led protest demonstrations & submitted deputations to local DI office seeking redressal but to no avail.

Schools do not have science teachers at the Higher Secondary level leading to the closure of the science department. Case in point - Shilda Radhacharan Vidyamandir.

This abject neglect of govt, govt-aided & govt-sponsored schools by Mamata Banerjee proves my initial argument that the TMC govt is in a systematic manner out to destroy education in general & govt education in particular for a definitive purpose.

Everything is happening according to plans including the unnatural & unnecessary closure of schools first due to Covid & then due to heat. THERE IS A REASON.

Before I end a small tidbit. During #LeftFront rule there were 8404 primary schools in undivided Medinipur district.

Anyone who is eager to know more details can visit the @GANASHAKTI1 website. The news is on the first page.
