KPCC president B.K. Hariprasad on Sunday accused the Narendra Modi-led Union government of failing to make a meaningful contribution to the education sector over the past 12 years. He claimed that more than one lakh schools have shut down during this period.

Addressing a press conference at a private hotel in Kalaburagi in connection with the elections to the North-East Teachers Constituency of the Legislative Council, he claimed that the Congress laid a strong foundation for education in the country after Independence.
