Paper leaks: ‘Youth will give a lesson to Cong govt in polls’

Jaipur (PTI): The youth of Rajasthan will teach a lesson to the Congress government in the assembly polls if it does not do justice to the unemployed, BJP MP Kirodi Meena said on Friday. Meena, who has been sitting on a dharna to demand a CBI inquiry into recruitment paper leaks in the state, alleged the state government has no intention of catching the “big crocodiles”.

The Rajya Sabha MP began a dharna on the outskirts of Jaipur on Tuesday after police stopped a march led by him from Dausa to protest paper leaks from entering the state capital.

The state government should listen to the voice of the youth without any political bias and sincerely address their legitimate demands in a time-bound manner, he said. The government has no intention of catching the “big crocodiles” involved in the paper leaks and therefore the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) should probe the matter, Meena said in a tweet.
