Jaipur : One by one, the previous government’s decisions are being altered by the Rajasthani BJP government, led by Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma.
The hiring of 50,000 Mahatma Gandhi Seva Preraks was canceled on Tuesday by the recently elected BJP government. Orders in this regard were issued by the Peace and Non-Violence Department.
Monday morning saw the closure of the Rajiv Gandhi Yuva Mitra Internship Scheme.
The hiring of 50,000 motivators as Mahatma Gandhi Seva Preraks was announced by the then-chief minister, Ashok Gehlot, in the budget for 2023–2024. On August 13, 2023, the Peace and Non-Violence Department released a release informing of the recruitment on a contract basis for a period of one year, based on the announcement.
The selected beneficiaries were to be given a stipend of Rs 4500 every month. These motivators were to be given the responsibility of propagating Gandhism and non-violence.
The Gehlot government had announced the recruitment two months before the code of conduct, at that time BJP had raised questions over the announcement.
In September, the appointment of Mahatma Gandhi Seva Preraks was banned by the High Court.
The High Court had permitted the government to continue the recruitment process, but there was a ban on issuing appointment letters.
Meanwhile, the code of conduct was imposed and the process came to a halt.
Now, the new government has cancelled the recruitment.
