What did Faisal Patel write?

The screen short of the social media post of Ahmed Patel’s son Faisal Patel is going viral. In this he has written, “I am thinking of breaking the Congress party and forming a new group. This party will be named Congress (AP). My sister Mumtaz Patel can also join it.

Mumtaz also raised questions on Congress leadership

Recently, after the defeat of Congress in Bihar elections, Mumtaz Patel had raised questions on the party leadership. He had written, “No excuses, no allegations and no introspection. Now is the time to look within yourself and accept the truth. How long will the countless loyal grassroots workers, who have remained with the party through all difficult situations, wait for success?” He also alleged that due to concentration of power in the hands of a few people, they are completely cut off from the ground reality and are responsible for the repeated defeats of this old party.

A few months ago, Faisal Patel had also praised the Modi government at the Center and said that the country is in safe hands. However, during this time he had also said that he was not angry with the Congress and had taken a break for a few days from public life. It is noteworthy that late veteran leader Ahmed Patel was among the great strategists of Congress. He had won the Lok Sabha elections thrice from Bharuch, Gujarat. He was also a member of Rajya Sabha for almost three decades. He died of corona infection in the year 2020.

A very sad incident has come to light in Kodinar of Gir Somnath district of Gujarat which has shocked the education world. Booth Level Officer (BLO) and teacher Arvindbhai Vadher committed suicide due to unbearable burden of work and mental stress related to SIR and elections.

Arvindbhai Vadher was working as a teacher since 2010 and was recently assigned the work of BLO (Booth Level Officer). In the suicide note, he has written that he was tired of working in SIR and he took this step due to the extreme mental stress caused by it.

What did the BLO write in the suicide note?

He has written a suicide note addressed to his wife. In the suicide note found from the teacher, it is clearly written, “I will no longer be able to do this work of SIR.” I am tired of working at SIR. You take care of yourself and your son. I love both of you very much, but now I am very helpless.

Serious questions on education system and administration

This incident has raised serious questions on the education system of the state. Instead of teaching, teachers are continuously engaged in non-academic work, especially BLO work, which is having a negative impact on the work of education.

2 teachers died in last three days

The death of two teachers in three days has increased the pressure on the system from teachers unions and political parties of the state.
