Rajasthan Transfer Dispute Escalates as Congress Alleges ‘Parchi System’ and BJP Fires Back

Overview

• Dorastra alleged a multi-tier approvals racket in recent school principal postings, saying a list that began with about 800 names swelled to roughly 3,500 after additions by the CMO, an RSS-linked stage and the Secretariat.
• He claimed around 5,000 principal transfers occurred through this process, asserted that officers and brokers inflated the rolls and said the exercise began in January and took nine months.
• Rajasthan Education Minister Madan Dilawar rejected the allegations and accused Dorastra and the previous Congress government of selling transfers and running a corrupt system.
• Dilawar said current transfers under the BJP are transparent and merit-based and cited, according to him, a Transparency International ranking that labeled Congress-era Rajasthan worst for transfer-related corruption.
• The exchange, which included Dorastra’s claims of RSS interference and broader political attacks, reflects an intensifying partisan fight as parties position themselves for upcoming contests.
