Suvendu Adhikari blames TMC and Left for weakening West Bengal schools

At a program organized by Vivekananda Vidya Vikash Parishad, Suvendu Adhikari accused the previous 34-year Communist regime and the subsequent 15-year TMC rule of degrading West Bengal's school education and cultural heritage. He argued that the curriculum changes have left the system in decline and warned that, if unchecked, it could converge with the Islamic education model of neighboring Bangladesh. Adhikari also denounced graffiti at Jadavpur University, citing slogans such as "Free Palestine" and "Kashmir Mange Azadi," and said his government will enforce a zero-tolerance policy toward anti-national expressions. The remarks reflect ongoing political battles over education policy and cultural identity in the state.
