Manja Sharma, a member of the public service Commission in Rajasthan (RPSC) and the wife of the poet and former leader AAP Kumar Vishwas, resigned from her post as a result of strong judicial observations on the recruitment document from 2021.
Why did Manja Sharma step down?
Manju Sharma resigned for days after the High Court in Rajasthan issued a sharp observation against the functioning of the commission in the event of a recruit leak to a subordinate inspector (SI) in 2021.
In her resigns letter presented to Governor Haribhau Bagade, Manja Sharma said on Monday that “she has always worked with maximum transparency and honesty”, but the discussion of the recruitment process has stabbed her personal reputation and dignity of the Commission.
Manju Sharma also explained that there was no investigation at any police station or investigative agency and was never named as accused.
Nevertheless, she stated that she was giving up his post in order to maintain the impartiality and credibility of the RPSC.
What did Rajasthan High Court say?
On August 28, Rajasthan High Court ordered the abolition of the recruitment process of 2021 and called the RPSC behavior “betrayal public trust”. The court noted that several members, including Sharma, were actively involved in interviews or had knowledge of paper leakage and inconsistencies.
The bench described the participation of members such as Babu Lal Katara, Ramuram Raika, Sangeeta Arya, Jaswant Rathi, Manju Sharma and chairman Sanjay Shrotiya as evidence of “system corruption within the APR”. He stated that the sanctity of the test was not only endangered by external actors, but the initiates commissioned by the process protection.
The call of the situation “alarming” was noted that some members were aware of “transactions and incorrect practices for personal profits”.
Who is Manju Sharma?
Manju Sharma, who holds PhD and Ma in geography, previously worked as an associate professor at MSJ PG College in Bharatpur. In October 2020, she was appointed to the RPSC during the Congress Government, despite the controversy of her political proximity as the wife of Kumar Vishwas – the founding member of AAP and the vocal critic of the congress leadership.
The six -year term of office of Manja Sharma was scheduled to continue until October 2026. Its appointment, like its resignation, remained politically questionable.
