Accusing the NDPP-BJP leaders of “treating the teachers as political pawns”, the Rising People’s Party (RPP) Wednesday said asked the NDPP-BJP to “stop their disgusting game of one-Upmanship.”
RPP asserted the only conclusion it could draw from this episode was that NDPP-BJP leaders were “sick humans without any moral qualms and ethics.”
“What kind of coalition government is this where both the partners are trying to bring pull down each other’s pants over the literally suffering bodies of teachers?” RPP stated.
The party has reminded the agitating teachers to not fall prey to any commitments whatsoever short of regularisation.
Stating that the ongoing ANATG agitation could only be resolved politically, the RPP has, therefore, advised the teachers to stop talking with the bureaucrats in the education department.
The party stated that the political leadership led by advisor school education should have addressed the issue from day one. However, RPP expressed dismay that despite the serious nature of the agitation the leaders were yet to respond to the plight of teachers.
RPP also stated that only the intervention of the chief minister could resolve the issue. The party has advised that the teachers continue to stand their ground till the state cabinet took a positive decision.
“It’s inhuman that our politicians should remain silent when day after day teachers are being hospitalized including one lady teacher in serious condition,” RPP said and questioned who would be responsible if any untoward incident happened?
The party has, therefore, reminded NDPP-BJP coalition partners to get their priorities right and “stop their whispering campaigns” against each other over the issue for petty political mileage.
If at all NDPP or BJP were really serious, RPP said they would have come out openly in support of the teachers by now and got the job done.
