Jaipur (PTI): BJP leader Kirori Lal Meena on Sunday called the Ashok Gehlot-led government the most corrupt in Rajasthan's history and accused the Congress dispensation of being involved in scams worth thousands of crores.
The Rajya Sabha member alleged that the Gehlot-led dispensation has been involved in corruption, including a mining scam, of more than Rs 66,000 crore.
"The chief minister calls himself a Gandhian but how can he be silent even after so many scams? How does he keep saying that he has zero tolerance for corruption?" Meena asked

Meena also alleged the involvement of ministers, bureaucrats and MLAs in many scams, including one related to the Jal Jeevan Mission.

AIITA welcomes Karnataka’s ban on obscene songs in school events
Bhatkal: The Karnataka unit of the All India Ideal Teachers Association (AIITA) has welcomed the Karnataka government’s decision to strictly ban school children from dancing to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes in government, aided, and private schools across the state.
AIITA Karnataka State President M. R. Manvi congratulated the government for taking what he termed an important step to preserve the sanctity of education.
“Such decisions to safeguard the dignity of school children and uphold the values of education are the need of the hour. This rule should not be limited to government schools alone but must be strictly implemented in all private educational institutions as well,” he said.
He further urged the government to address other concerns within school programmes.
“The government should not only prohibit obscene dances in the name of school anniversaries, but also ensure that plays and dialogues that incite religious hatred are avoided. Schools should be centres of harmony, not platforms for spreading hatred,” he added.
According to a recent circular issued by the Department of School Education and Literacy, obscene dances are adversely affecting the mental health and moral values of students.
In this regard, schools have been advised to use songs that promote nationalism, positive thinking, the greatness of Kannada culture, and value-based traditions instead of inappropriate content during programmes.
The circular also emphasises that students should be dressed in decent attire.
AIITA also backed the department’s warning that disciplinary action would be taken against head teachers if such guidelines are violated. The association has further demanded that district Deputy Directors of Public Instruction strictly monitor the implementation of these rules.
