Political Uproar Over Poor State of Schools; Viral Video Escalates Controversy in UP

Desk: Political tensions have flared up in Uttar Pradesh regarding the dilapidated state of government schools ahead of the 2027 assembly elections. Targeting the opposition over a viral video showing the poor condition of a school, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath remarked that those under whose tenure these buildings were constructed are now cornering the government by highlighting their disrepair. While the BJP dismissed the video as misleading and highlighted the government’s achievements, the Samajwadi Party and Congress questioned the administration, asserting that shortcomings should be rectified rather than threatening action against those who raise such issues.
