Education Minister Botsa Satyanarayana has emphasised the gravity of responsibility and precision in the statements issued by those holding ministerial positions, particularly concerning sensitive matters.
Addressing a press conference here on Friday, he termed Union Minister Piyush Goyal’s recent comments regarding Andhra Pradesh inaccurate and baseless.
Expressing disappointment at what he perceived as Goyal’s propensity to speak without factual substantiation, Minister Botsa challenged the veracity of the Union Minister’s assertions. He stressed the imperative of backing claims with evidence, particularly in educational matters, and condemned what he characterised as the dissemination of false narratives by certain media outlets. In addition to addressing allegations of corruption within the education sector, Minister Botsa defended the government’s educational initiatives and accomplishments, citing record-high pass rates in government schools and the efficient conduct of examinations as evidence of the administration’s dedication to educational excellence.
