After a student in Madhya Pradesh pleaded to Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan last week to make her school accessible, another student from the state has now written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi requesting him not to acquire school buses for political rallies.
In a letter addressed to the PM, the 8th standard student Devansh Jain has requested the school administration that since buses won't ply on the 9th & 10th of August owing to a Prime Minister's rally in MP's Alirajpur, their studies would get affected.
"I request the Prime Minister on behalf of all the students to not use our school buses for the rally" pleads the disgruntled student. "Our studies get affected because we end up missing school when they take our school buses away for rallies," Jain wrote in his letter.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address a public meeting at Bhavra in Alirajpur district, the birthplace of revolutionary freedom fighter Chandra Shekhar Azad, to mark 70 years of Independence and 74 years of Quit India Movement on August 9.
The Khandwa DM has directed schools to compulsorily provide buses for the PM's rally. What becomes evident is that getting people to sabhas is clearly being prioritized over getting students to attend classes in school.
This is not the first time a rally will cause inconvenience to students. If this rally in Madhya Pradesh deprives them of their school buses, the one in Patna forced students to skip school because security forces had to be deployed for Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's much-publicised Adhikar Yatra which took over the premises of nearly twenty schools.
The question everyone seems to be asking is should a political rally always be given priority over studies?
