Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Monday attacked the BJP over the plight of 'shiksha mitras' or contractual teachers in Uttar Pradesh, alleging the ruling party leaders are busy marketing T-shirts instead of attending to those suffering.
Hundreds of 'shiksha mitras' have been protesting and pressing for better pay and appointment as assistant teachers in the state.
