After Centre ranked Punjab number one in the Performance Grading Index (PGI) 2019-2020, Aam Adami Party (AAP) leader and Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Saturday alleged a “secret” friendship between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh.
Sisodia said, “Captain Amarinder Singh has got the blessing of Modiji. Delhi’s schools have been ranked much below. Nearly 800 government schools in Punjab have been shut in last five years and many schools have been handed over to private entities but Punjab has been ranked on the top.”
For next year’s Assembly polls in Punjab, AAP and BJP are in opposition to the Congress party.
Sisodia further alleged that the educational facilities in Punjab’s government schools are poor and that’s the reason that students and parents in the state prefer private schools over government schools.
He said that the index is an effort to hide the incompetence of the Punjab Government in the field of education. “The condition of govt schools is such that two days ago a liquor factory was busted in one of them. But PM Modi says Captain Sahab's work in Punjab govt schools is the best”, Sisodia added.

He further said, “Maybe later, the Centre government might release a report saying Punjab’s hospitals are best. There is a ‘secret’ friendship between Modiji and Captain.”
Meanwhile, ridiculing the Delhi deputy CM’s atrocious allegation of a political conspiracy of the Centre and the Punjab government in the matter of school education ranking, Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh termed it a clear case of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) crying foul in the face of its imminent wipeout from Punjab in the 2022 Assembly polls.
Vijay Inder Singla said that the desperation of Manish Sisodia was quite visible and understandable as paid clamour about the rosy picture of Delhi Schools in media by the AAP government had comprehensible been exposed.
