Jaipur: Baljeet Yadav, MLA from Behror assembly constituency took to running in the Central Park here to protest against issues of unemployment and corruption in the State on Thursday. He announced a 12hour run as a mark of protest. He too announced running as protest in the State Assembly.

Other MLAs too reached the park when they heard about Yadav’s plan to run. Deputy Leader of Opposition Rajendra Rathore supported the cause by participating in the run. Chief Whip Mahesh Joshi sat on the tracks urging Yadav to call-off his protest.

I am expressing anger against the State Government. I want to tell them about the pain of the youth of the State. There are 23 states where youths of Rajasthan are not being given jobs. Even the State Government is not giving them jobs. So, where will the youth go? People are helpless due to the irregularities in recruitment exams. I cannot fight with these goons so I have to express my anger, he said. The Vice Chancellor of Gurukul University is telling the Government that infrastructure is ready whereas the entire infrastructure mentioned in the bill exists only on papers, he added.

Rajasthan Government withdrew The Gurukul University, Sikar Bill, 2022 after revelations were made about the university in the Assembly.
