Unified exam on UPSC lines for govt jobs
A single unified examination on the lines of the exam conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) nationally is being planned by the Madhya Pradesh government for recruitment to various government posts, CM Mohan Yadav announced recently. The aim of a single entrance exam is to avoid multiple exams conducted for different government positions, which delay the recruitment process. Yadav added that new recruitments will begin soon and that two lakh new posts will be created. Further, to expedite police recruitment, a separate board is being set up, through which as many as 20,000 posts will be filled up.
BJP veteran Paras Jain bids adieu to politics
Two years after he was denied the BJP ticket from the Ujjain North seat, six-time former MLA and ex-minister Paras Jain recently announced his decision to quit electoral politics. While making the announcement, the BJP veteran noted that there is a huge difference between elections of the past and the present era. He said reaching 75 years of age was possibly behind the denial of ticket to him in the 2023 elections. While vowing to stay loyal to the BJP, Jain said the party should always take grassroots-level workers along and not forget senior leaders. Having won six elections between 1990 and 2018, Jain had held key portfolios in successive BJP governments.
