Jaipur : In Rajasthan Assembly, Sachin Pilot supporter MLA Mukesh Bhakar indirectly targeted Subhash Garg, who was the Higher Education Minister in the Gehlot government. Speaking in the budget debate, Bhakar said that the members of the ruling party were saying that we formed an SIT regarding the paper leak. More than 100 people have been arrested, but I would like to say that till now you have caught fish. If we are also involved in the paper leak, then catch us too. Only slogans and speeches will not work. You came to power by making the paper leak an issue. Work on that too. You have caught Pradeep Parashar, but who was the one to put him there? I know that your investigation will not go that far. Because RLD is a partner in power with you in the center. So work on the promise you made to the public. Let us tell you that RLD MLA Subhash Garg was supported by Congress in the assembly elections. At the same time, Congress MLA from Sangaria Abhimanyu Poonia raised the demand for holding student union elections. They showed posters saying ‘Restore student union elections’. After showing the posters, there was an uproar in the House.

Ruckus over demand for student union elections, MLA Abhimanyu showed posters
There was an uproar in the House over the student union elections. Congress MLA from Sangaria Abhimanyu Poonia raised the demand for holding student union elections. He showed posters saying ‘Resume student union elections’. After showing the posters, there was an uproar in the House. MLAs from the ruling party and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Jogaram Patel protested. They said – this is the House, not a college or university.
Abhimanyu left his seat and came forward showing the poster. On this, Chairman Sandeep Sharma said that this way of yours is not right. You go to your seat. You are a new member. You will not get any benefit by doing this.
BJP MLA Chhagan Singh Rajpurohit said that the Leader of Opposition should tell his members who had cancelled the student union elections. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Jogaram Patel said that it is being proved in the House that no opposition member listens to the Leader of Opposition. They are stopping him again and again, but no one is listening to them. Opposition members feel that they have been wrongly made the Leader of Opposition. Govind Singh Dotasara should have been made the Leader of Opposition. Their grudge is coming out here.
Leader of Opposition Tikaram Julie said that this is a serious issue. The member has expressed his opposition. If we don’t say it here, then where will we say it. On this, Minister Sumit Godara said that who had stopped the elections. MLAs of the ruling party said that the elections were stopped by Ashok Gehlot. Tikaram Julie said that we had postponed the elections. Your government has stopped them.
During the uproar, MLA Shrichand Kriplani said that if Dotasara was here, this situation would not have happened. Tikaram Julie said that make Kriplani a minister, so that he stops getting up again and again.

Congress MLA said- BJP did not spare even the tribal minister
Congress MLA from Todabhim Ghanshyam Mehar said that BJP talks about tribals, but they did not spare tribal minister Kirodi Lal Meena. BJP came to power because of Kirodi Lal, but the Chief Minister does not listen to him. He has to go to the Chief Secretary for his work.
Pointing towards Minister Babulal Kharari, Mehar said that the Tribal Minister is sitting here, but he did not say a single word. Minister ji, you have switched off. You keep sitting in airplane mode in the House. You did not say a single word.
The minister sitting next to you talked about getting DNA tests done of the tribals, but you did not say anything.
Congress MLA demanded to close the university opened during Gehlot’s rule
Congress MLA Harish Chaudhary has raised the demand to close the MBM University opened in Jodhpur in 2021 during Gehlot’s rule. Chaudhary said that in 2021, MBM University was opened by dividing the land of Jaynarayan University into two parts. There was no new logic in it, while opening it, the argument given was that this university would be made a center of excellence. It was also argued that the alumni would help financially, but what happened? What is the situation in 3 years? Both the universities are breathing their last.
Chaudhary said- There is silence in the university classrooms, this silence is showing the silence of the future of the youth. This is the silence of the future of this state, because no classes are being held there. The professors there have retired, they are not getting pension today. The retired professors have been brought to the footpath and are on hunger strike. Those professors have not come to the footpath, our future has come to the footpath. The basic work of the university is research, research work is not being done in both the universities. Both the universities are running only in the name of conducting examinations.
Harish Chaudhary said- The government created a university on the basis of the Center for Excellence, but the Rajasthan government did not take even a single step for it. An act should be brought to merge both the universities again. The MBM University Act 2021 should be abolished and there should be only one university named Jaynarayan Vyas University, so that research, regular teaching activities, appointment of other professors can be done on time.

Kharra said- On 12 June 2024, a sanitation worker was caught by the ACB, who was taking Rs 1.75 lakh from the applicant in the name of getting him recruited with guarantee. We had received many such complaints, but only one person was caught in the net, we are trying for the rest.
UDH Minister said- Safai Karamcharis went on strike over the rules of recruitment. Their demand was that there is a possibility of fraud due to the provision of hiring experienced Safai Karamcharis from private agencies, so experience in urban bodies should be necessary, even if it is on contract. After this we amended the condition. The process of Safai Karamchari recruitment in urban bodies will be completed soon. Earlier, more than 100 petitions were filed in the High Court regarding its conditions. Yesterday the High Court disposed of the petitions, now the recruitment process will be taken forward soon.
