The Congress government in Karnataka, that defeated BJP by an absolute majority, ran its pre-poll campaign around promising five major guarantees, along with undoing many policies brought by the BJP government. From revision of textbooks to the contentious Hijab ban, the Congress government has often charged at the previous regime for ‘saffronising’ education. Its latest target has been BJP’s flagship National Education Policy (NEP), which Chief Minister Siddaramaiah recently announced would be scrapped from next academic year.
