The state government has asked school teachers to open accounts on ‘X’ and use AAP’s hashtag #PunjabSikhyaKranti along with the CM’s photo as the ribbon cutting drive begins tomorrow. Teachers were also told to tweet photos/videos with the hashtag.

MLA Pargat Singh took to X, stating: “The social media-obsessed @BhagwantMann government is now using teachers as its IT cell to boost his image. Teachers have been instructed to create X (Twitter) accounts, use AAP’s hashtag #PunjabSikhyaKranti, and post only positive updates — all to portray basic school repair work as a “revolution”!”

He added: “This isn’t an education revolution — it’s a propaganda campaign!”
