He said the BJP government hardly gave funds for the mini-secretariat building in Barsar. “Our government gave Rs 16.50 crore for completion of the mini-secretariat, which was completed with an outlay of Rs 17.45 crore.”
Launching a scathing attack on the BJP, the Chief Minister said that during their regime, the BJP constructed buildings worth Rs 1,000 crore in the name of development that were lying vacant, besides opening 600 schools just before the general elections without making any provisions for teaching faculty.
“The standard of education deteriorated during the BJP’s regime and the state's ranking came down to 21st position,” the Chief Minister said.
