Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Tuesday slammed the BJP over the teachers recruitment case, alleging that it was playing a “double game” with the youth from both reserved and unreserved categories and harming them socially, economically and mentally.
Her remarks come a day after the Supreme Court stayed the Allahabad High Court order asking the Uttar Pradesh Government to prepare a fresh selection list for the appointment of 69,000 assistant teachers in the State.
The top court also stayed the High Court verdict setting aside the selection lists of the assistant teachers issued by the State authorities in June 2020 and January 2022, which included 6,800 candidates.
“The anti-youth and anti-social justice attitude adopted by the BJP in the matter of recruitment of 69,000 teachers in UP is shocking. By playing a double game, the youth from both reserved and unreserved categories are being harmed socially, economically and mentally,” she said in a post in Hindi on X.
“First, the reservation scam in the recruitment process took away the rights of hundreds of Dalit and backward candidates. And even now the BJP’s intention is to delay and misdirect social justice.”
