Punjab Newslline, Chandigarh, August 24-
AAP General Secretary and PMB Chairman Harchand Singh Barsat criticized the BJP govt at the center over the lateral entry scheme, saying that the BJP wants to undermine the constitution of the country.
He argued that their decisions are consistently against the constitution, pointing out that this recruitment ignored the reservation rights granted by the constitution, allowing the BJP to place their favorites in high government positions. Barsat emphasized that Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar, the creator of the constitution, considered every section of society, but the power-hungry BJP is degrading the constitution, though the people will not forgive them.
He said that the central government had already filled more than 60 IAS-level posts through lateral entry, disregarding the constitution and reservation norms, and now intended to appoint 45 more people. However, this plan had to be canceled due to pressure from the opposition and the upcoming assembly elections in four states. Although the BJP withdrew the decision out of fear of defeat in the assembly elections in Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir, Jharkhand, and Maharashtra, the people have understood their intentions and will respond accordingly in the elections.
