EC issue show cause notice to BJP's Abhijit Gangopadhyay over remarks against CM
The ongoing movement of employed teachers in Bihar faces a potential diversion as Deputy CM Samrat Chaudhary suggests holding a meeting with the teachers. However, concerns arise as the meeting is scheduled to take place in the BJP office instead of the government secretariat. Employed teachers, who have been actively protesting for their demands, now express disillusionment with the promises made by the government. There is a growing perception that conflicting opinions within the ruling parties might be attempting to redirect the movement, raising doubts about the sincerity of talks with Samrat Chaudhary.
The movement of employed teachers in Bihar, advocating for unconditional government employee status and addressing the concerns of secondary teachers regarding offline examinations, is encountering challenges. Deputy CM Samrat Chaudhary's decision to conduct a meeting in the BJP office instead of the secretariat raises suspicions about the government's commitment to resolving the teachers' issues. While the BJP had previously supported employed teachers, the Secondary Teachers Association questions the meaningfulness of talks held in the state BJP office.
The association asserts that if Samrat Chaudhary genuinely supports the teachers, the meeting should take place in the Secretariat, involving Education Department officials to express their views. The apparent contradiction between promises made by Samrat Chaudhary and State Education Minister Vijay Chaudhary, who announces competency tests offline and online, adds complexity to the situation and contributes to doubts about the government's intentions.
