Recruitment of principals tainted: BJP

Staff Reporter

Alleging wrongdoing in the recruitment of 334 principals for Government schools in the national Capital, the Delhi BJP on Sunday demanded proper cross verification of documents of the selected candidates.

Making this claim here, Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva said the recruitment of principals is as tainted as the JBT recruitment scam seen in Haryana in the year 2000.

He also called for a probe into alleged massive misuse of SCERT funds by Delhi’s Education Department for political promotion of AAP’s agenda.

Sachdeva said he has written to the Lt. Governor of Delhi that as per the facts brought to his knowledge Delhi Government sent a request for recruitment of 334 principals in Delhi Government schools and there are lots of flaws in the recruitment process.

Sachdeva said it is also learnt there are discrepancies in the documents submitted by over one third of the selected 334 principals.

He claimed that due to the connivance of Delhi Government’s education department officials under the pressure of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Education Minister Atishi forged documents have been submitted by many selected principals.

The basic education degrees submitted by many selected Principals are forged, similarly the caste certificates, economic status certificates, experience certificates too have been forged. Crores of rupees have exchanged hands in this corrupt process, Sachdeva said.

Delhi BJP president also drew the attention towards the rampant misuse of SCERT funds by the education department officials of Delhi Government.
