Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke on Sunday demanded reforms in the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) and the resignation of its chairman Vivek Bhimanwar over “allegations” of corruption against him.
During an interaction with aspirants of the state Public Service Commission in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, the CJP founder asked them to post a two-minute video on Instagram for Bhimanwar’s removal. If 15-20 lakh youths are unemployed, it is not good for any state, he said.
“Bhimanwar (as a former Transport Commissioner) is facing several allegations of corruption in the RTO scam, licences, number plates. The question is how much cut did Devendra Fadnavis get out of this? But if Bhimanwar continues to hold his post, it would mean that he (Fadnavis) is getting those cuts (commission). Are they purchasing MPs and MLAs using this money?” Dipke asked. He demanded “reforms” in the Maharashtra Public Service Commission by making Bhimanwar resign.
The alleged MPSC Drug Inspector exam paper leak had sparked massive protests, with aspirants and political groups demanding the resignations of Bhimanwar and the commission’s secretary. For his part, Bhimanwar had rejected demands for his resignation, stating the Drug Inspector exam paper leak occurred before he took office.
Dipke Attacks CM Fadnavis
Dipke flagged growing unemployment in the state and criticised Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
He targeted Fadnavis over his old pre-election “Me Punha Yein” slogan, saying the chief minister won’t make a comeback if he doesn’t hear the voice of MPSC aspirants. In a dig at Fadnavis, he said he liked him for his “hard work”.
