Rajasthan Finance Panel Chief Accuses Gehlot of Covering Up Recruitment Scam
A big official in Rajasthan, Arun Chaturvedi, said that a former leader, Ashok Gehlot, ignored cheating in job exams.
The cheating involved changing answer sheets for money.
The current government caught five people doing this.
Chaturvedi said Gehlot's government did nothing for over four years.
Gehlot said the cheating happened over many years and both parties should be investigated.
Now, both sides are arguing about who is responsible.
Arun Chaturvedi accused Ashok Gehlot of covering up irregularities in RSSB recruitment exams.
Five accused staffers were arrested for rigging OMR sheets in the exams.
Chaturvedi claimed Gehlot's government ignored the scam for over four years.
Gehlot demanded a thorough probe into all RSSB exams conducted between 2018 and 2025.
