Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot stated that his administration was initiating legal action against those responsible for the paper leak while speaking on the second day of Chintan Shivir on Tuesday.
Gehlot denied claims that any officers were involved in the current paper leak case involving the grade 2 teacher recruitment exams and asserted that harsh measures are being taken against the gang responsible.
Earlier on Monday, former Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot sought a strict investigation into the paper leak and said during a press interaction, “I am saddened and anguished when I get to know of such incidents. Repeated paper leaks compromise the future of the youth. It doesn’t matter who the criminal is, a strict investigation should be conducted to stop such recurring paper leaks.”
CM Gehlot said, “We have taken action on the perpetrators and the mastermind in the paper leak case, leaders should tell the name (in paper leak case), we’ll take action against them and won’t spare them.” He also criticised the opposition, claiming that the BJP was misinforming the public and slandering his administration.
“We have arrested many people, debarred the candidates and teachers, bulldozed houses, and done everything regarding this case. Rajasthan is the only state where officials were dismissed and stringent action was taken pertaining to the paper leak case. What else can a government do? The Opposition doesn’t see what’s happening in UP and other states. It’s misleading the people,” he added.
Gehlot presided over the two-day “Chintan Shivir” in Jaipur on Monday in advance of the state Assembly elections. The brainstorming session was attended by all Cabinet Ministers and Ministers of State.
Detailed presentations of their respective ministries were made by the ministers of education, health, agriculture, and animal husbandry, who also discussed the roadmap.
