Congress will ensure education to all: Sibal

Lucknow, July 25: Slamming the Uttar Pradesh government for demanding funds for implementing Right to Education Act in the state, HRD Minister Kapil Sibal today said the Congress would ensure education to all after it comes to power in the state in 2012 Assembly polls.

“There should be no politics with education and future of the children. The UP government had already got some answer in 2009 Lok Sabha election and rest it will get in 2012 Assembly polls,” Sibal told reporters in reply to a question about the Mayawati government’s demand regarding RTE.

The minister said if the state was not ready to contribute funds for RTE, it should go and tell the people that it could not provide education to their children.
