Congress MP Rahul Gandhi alleged at an Indore programme on Saturday that the system suppresses students who ask questions and instead promotes blind followers.
Gandhi stated that education's share in the Union Budget dropped from 4.6% in 2014 to 2.6%, diverting ₹7.7 lakh crore to billionaires while 10 lakh teacher posts remain vacant.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav hit back, calling the event Jhoot ki Goonj and accusing Gandhi of making careless claims without facts.
