Pargat Singh, the former education minister of Punjab and a member of the Congress party, publicly criticized the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for allegedly misrepresenting the origins of educational reforms in the state. Singh's comments came in response to AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal's claims on social media that Punjab's education system had dramatically improved under the current Bhagwant Mann government. Singh clarified that while Punjab was indeed ranked 27th in the Performance Grading Index (PGI) in 2017, it achieved the top position in the 2021 report due to reforms implemented by the Congress government. He accused AAP of attempting to take credit for these achievements and noted that the party had previously questioned the validity of educational rankings when they were favorable to Congress. Furthermore, Singh highlighted that Kejriwal's focus on the National Achievement Survey (NAS) 2017 conveniently ignored the 2021 results, where Punjab excelled. He concluded by asserting that AAP's attempts to rewrite history through public relations campaigns would not change the facts.
