Madhya Pradesh's higher education minister Mohan Yadav claims these subjects and topics have been included to teach students about life values and "personality development." The curriculum of the BJP-led state administration was criticized by Congress politicians, who said that education in the state was becoming more saffronized. "We don't have any problem with the teaching of Mahabharata, Geeta and Ramcharitmans, but they should also include Bible, Quran and Guru Granth Sahib in the syllabus to develop communal harmony among students. But they won't do so, because it doesn't suit their ideology," said Congress leader P.C. Sharma, according to the Hindustan Times.
