Credibility of RPSC has been compromised over years

Dear Reader,

This story is a lot more politically important that it sounds.

The one silent killer of votes during 2024 polls was govt recruitment issues across the Hindi heartland. Both BJP and INC have lost seats/govt because of this problem.

When lakhs of unemployed youth see a govt exam as their chance to get ahead you don't want the process to be messed up. Yet thanks to corruption, inefficiency and litigation this is exactly what happened in multiple states. Result? Plenty of votes and seats lost by parties.

The BJP govt in Rajasthan appears to be earnestly fixing this issue.

They've put the person who credibly investigated the recruitment scams as the man in charge. And he appears to be delivering.

Good reporting by Nishtha Anushree.

Some stories deserve to be read. Some deserve to be framed.
