EVEN SP-COLLECTOR GO BEHIND BARS: CM

Pali/Udaipur: Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has said that the opposition is making an issue that corruption cases have increased in Rajasthan. “I want to tell them that we are catching the corrupt, that’s why the actions of ACB have increased. We want to make Rajasthan corruption free. There are many other states in the country where ACB does not even take action. We have even put the Collector-SP in jail,” Gehlot said while speaking to media in Pali.

On the question of not revealing the identity of those caught in corruption cases, the Chief Minister said, “There are many cases in which officers are falsely implicated. That’s why it is being done so that the officer doesn’t have to face defamation. Until it is proved that he has committed corruption, his identity should be kept secret. This is the decision of three judges of the Supreme Court.

Gehlot said, “paper leak has become like a disease, but due to its fear, we will not stop conducting the examination. Go to Gujarat and see that there are no jobs there. On the other hand Rajasthan will probably be the first state in the country where maximum number of jobs are being given to the youth. Jobs have been given to 1.35 lakh youths and the process of interview and examination is going on to give jobs to 1.25 lakh youths.”

He said that about 25 lakh youth appeared for the REET exam and the Congress government of the state made free arrangements for the students to travel. The CM said that paper leaks happened in UP, Gujarat and Bihar as well, but there were no arrests.

He said, “BJP’s rallies are proving to be a complete flop. Crowds are being gathered through obscene dances. There are half a dozen candidates for CM’s post in BJP.”
