No question of going to BJP: Ramesh Jarkiholi
“I’ve capacity to bring 10 MLAs from BJP”
New Delhi, August 07: Municipal Administration Minister Ramesh Jarkiholi said that “I am born Congressman. There is no question of going to BJP. If needed, I have the capacity of bringing 10 MLAs from BJP”.
Speaking to reporters here on Tuesday, he said that “I have started my political career in Congress and will complete in Congress. There is no question of going to BJP”, he said.
The allegation that he has come to Delhi with BJP state president BS Yeddyurappa was baseless. He has reached New Delhi before Yeddurappa’s arrival. He has come to Delhi to meet the AICC president to demand him one more ministerial berth to his community in the JDS-Congress coalition government, he said.
“Congress is inevitable to the country. I will not leave the Congress. It was said that the Congress will be wiped out from the country when Atal Bihari Vajpayee was the prime minister. But the Congress would remain in the country irrespective of any leader”, he said.

Over 13,000 teaching posts vacant in KVs, Navodaya schools: Education ministry
New Delhi (PTI): Over 13,000 teaching positions are vacant in Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) and Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs) across the country, the Ministry of Education informed the Lok Sabha on Monday.
The information was shared by Union Minister of State for Education Jayant Chaudhary in response to a written question.
"A total of 8,618 and 5,083 teaching posts are lying vacant in KVs and JNVs, respectively. Vacancies keep on arising due to opening of new schools, retirement, resignation, promotion of employees, transfer, employees going on lien to another department and upgradation of schools," Chaudhary said.
"Filling up of vacancies is a continuous process and efforts are made to fill up the vacancies as per the provisions of the relevant recruitment rules of KVs and NVs," he added.
The minister noted that teachers are also engaged on contractual basis for temporary duration by KVs and NVs to ensure that the teaching-learning process is not hampered.
"Efforts are made to recruit regular teachers at the earliest so that interest of students does not suffer. The consistently high percentage results achieved by KVs and NVs over the years clearly demonstrate that academic standards and students’ performance are duly maintained and are not compromised," he said.
