With the teacher transfer row, sparked by a lady teacher’s spat with the Chief Minister and her subsequent suspension, turning into an instrument for the critics to beat the State Government with, questions are being raised over the place of posting of Government school teacher Sunita Rawat, who is the wife of the Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat, in a Dehradun-based school.
On Saturday, a former BJP leader Subhash Sharma who now calls himself a social media activist said that CM should first suspend his wife as she remains posted in a school located in a Sugam area, less than one km from her home, from the past 22 years in violation of the norms.
He even questioned the educational qualification of CM’s wife and claimed that she was appointed in district cadre of Pauri in 1992 from where she was transferred to a Government school Ajabpur Kalan located in Dehradun in 1996.
The former BJP leader demanded the list of the relatives of the politicians, senior officers and other influential people detailing places of their posting be released to clear the air of the questions raised over favouritism.
