If a soldier requires a minimum educational qualification for a job, why not a minimum education from a corporator to a prime minister? Is there a provision for this in the constitution? Will education improve the quality of work of the person in that position?

Note one. Intelligence and education have nothing to do with each other.

Dhirubhai Ambani was only educated up to 10th. He had the intelligence to keep an army of the most intelligent and intelligent people in the world and do the necessary work from them. So Reliance is on tap, brought on.

Bahinabai Chaudhary was illiterate. But his sense, observation was very fluid and subtle. which they would not have received through education. His poetry was discovered and collected by his son and brought before us. Education did not stop these two. Education would have been better.

Now what is democracy? Democracy is a government by the people, for the people, by the people.

Now, if the condition of education was included in the constitution as you say, then a fully qualified person would not have been able to get elected just because he could not study due to poor conditions and difficulties. This would have gone against the principles of democracy. So education is not a requirement.

Moreover, the elected representatives are not expected to work on their own, but to implement their ideas, their or their party's policies (which they promised to the people before the election) through the competent authorities (bureaucracy) of the government. Hence the education of the person becomes a secondary issue as the highly educated bureaucratic class is at their beck and call.

Now let's take an actual example. Suppose Narendra Modi is illiterate. But since the year 2000 the people (people are supreme in a democracy) continue to elect them despite knowing that they are illiterate. Then not giving power to Modi would have been an insult to the people. This means that this issue would have been a wound to the roots of democracy.

Promises made by Modi to people on people's insistence viz. Demonetisation (to eradicate corruption), Article 370, Ram Mandir, railway reforms, roads, toilets for all etc. completed For that he employed the intelligence of bureaucracy. At that time, the issue of education did not become a hindrance in his work.

But Kejriwal clearly knows that Modi is not illiterate. Why are they still so learned and raising this issue? The only purpose is to achieve politics. But they don't realize that it is dropping them from the public eye. This is a form of belittling people after being elected. Because people are supreme in democracy. This cannot be forgotten.
