The Ayodhya verdict. A public fight between CM and Governor of the state. A state language "sammelan". What do they have in common? No prizes for guessing -- forced closure of educational institutions by state diktat.
We are ruled by a government that publicly proclaims it will not be able to protect the safety of our children as they travel to school in their *well-marked* school buses and sit down to study in their classrooms. By a government that suddenly decides it is better for schools to shut down because a state language "sammelan" is being held.
Maybe (and there is no evidence of this) the government wins brownie points with it's electoral constituency -- but what about the impact on children? Parents?
Sudden school closures force working parents to stay away from office as well. Is anyone tabulating the economic loss? Un-planned school holidays also result in weekend school days to complete "syllabus". That's extremely taxing on children AND parents, not to mention disruptive of any weekend activities and plans.
The current CM seems to believe his opponents are driving him out of power and is resorting to mumbo-jumbo to fight their "black magic". I don't know about the black magician opponents, but voters like me certainly will -- during the next election.
