Congress Alleges Chhattisgarh Govt Plans to Close Schools and Cut Jobs
The Congress party in Chhattisgarh is accusing the current government of planning to shut down a lot of schools and get rid of many teaching jobs.
They say this is happening while the government claims they're not closing schools.
Congress is worried that this will cause schools to close in remote areas and take away jobs for teachers and other school staff.
Also, Congress is complaining about shortages of important supplies for farmers and saying that a recent price increase for rice isn't enough to help farmers.
Congress alleges the government plans to shut down 10,000 schools and eliminate 45,000 teaching posts.
Congress claims the rationalization will lead to a shortage of schools in remote areas.
Congress raises concerns about shortages of fertilizers and seeds in cooperative societies.
Congress states that 3 lakh metric tonnes of DAP are required, but only 81,000 metric tonnes are available.
Congress criticizes the recent increase of Rs 69 in the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for paddy, calling it inadequate.
