Bengaluru, June 9 (UNI) The BJP on Friday slammed the Congress ministers in Karnataka for their plan to revise school textbooks by saying that they basically are communists and do not encourage nationalistic views.
"Now they want to divert the attention of the people by picking up on school textbooks. Siddaramaiah is a so-called self-declared educationist, basically, they are communists. They don't encourage any nationalistic views," BJP leader and former state education minister B C Nagesh told reporters here.
Nagesh said the BJP government removed lessons on Nehru and chopped off some lessons on Tipu Sultan, and added chapters that develop nationalistic feelings in students.
