Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak commends the inclusion of Hindutva ideologue V D Savarkar's biography in the state secondary education board's curriculum, highlighting his significant contribution to Indian history. Pathak criticizes previous governments for neglecting the contributions of figures like Savarkar, while asserting the BJP's commitment to prioritizing the nation's interests over personal ambitions.

Furthermore, the Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad's decision to incorporate the biographies of 11 leaders, including Savarkar, Jawaharlal Nehru, Chhatrapati Shivaji, and Birsa Munda, into the moral education syllabus for classes 9 to 12 is aimed at providing students with a comprehensive understanding of influential personalities who shaped India's past, according to PTI.

In response to opposition parties' recent meeting in Patna, Pathak accuses them of disregarding the nation's welfare while emphasizing the BJP's unwavering focus on the country's well-being. He takes a jibe at RJD supremo Lalu Prasad and urges Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to prioritize marriage, implying that opposition leaders are more concerned with personal matters than addressing critical issues.

As 17 opposition parties unite to contest the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the deputy chief minister asserts that the people have rejected Gandhi, highlighting the BJP's determination to face the upcoming electoral battle.
