Arvind Kejriwal, the chief minister of Delhi, on August 17 declared “Make India No. 1” as the country’s top priority.
“We have to make India the number one nation in the world once again. We have to make India great again. We are beginning a national mission called ‘Make India No.1’ today,” Kejriwal said in his address.
Urging all the countrymen to connect to the mission, he said, “every citizen of this country, 130 crore people have to be connected to this mission.”
He praised India’s civilization, claiming that it dates back thousands of years and that it is a wonderful nation. The Delhi CM had earlier on August 16 emphasised the importance of providing quality, free education for all children throughout the nation and the need for everyone to begin tackling this issue on a war footing.
The AAP leader had said that he has no problem with the rich people but he wants “to make every poor person as rich. How can a poor man become rich? We need to think that. The children of labourers, and farmers attend a government school. If the education provided to children by a government school is excellent, then the child will come out of poverty and help his family by pursuing a career as a doctor, engineer, business person.”
Kejriwal had also said that over 17 crore children in the country study in government schools, of which most are in bad condition.
“Over 17 crore children in the country study in government schools – most of the schools are in bad condition. Parents do not have money (to educate their children) in private schools. If we make these schools good, every child will make his family rich. If all these families become rich, then India will also become rich,” he said.
He also said that he was ready to work with the Centre if it wish to improve the healthcare and education facilities in the country.
