अनपढ़ राजा सारी प्रजा को भी अनपढ़ रखना चाहता है,
शिक्षित ना हो पाए प्रजा, इसलिए हर शिक्षक को जेल में रखना चाहता है.#ManishSisodia@AamAadmiParty @ArvindKejriwal @AAPMumbai @PreetiSMenon @SanjayAzadSln @AtishiAAP

Taking a dig at the demonization the AAP leader said: “If the PM is not educated, then anyone will fool him to do ‘notebandi’ saying ‘corruption-terrorism will end’. Has corruption-terrorism ended? An educated PM will know about the economy, technology, and science.”

“When the PM of a country is illiterate then the country plays thali to fight epidemic instead of science. That is why it is very important to have an educated Prime Minister,” He added.
