Pune: <\/b><\/p>\n
A video of Maharashtra School Education Minister Deepak Kesarkar rebuking a woman over her question about ‘delay’ in teachers’ recruitment went viral on social media on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The incident took place in Beed city on Monday when the minister was meeting some candidates for school teacher’s posts.<\/p>\n
Mr Kesarkar, who belongs to the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, later said in his reaction that the woman was not following discipline during the interaction.<\/p>\n
In the video, the woman, apparently aspiring to be a government school teacher, is heard asking the minister about ‘delay’ in the recruitment process, and saying they are tired of waiting.<\/p>\n
There was no advertisement about recruitment, she said, while the minister replied that every district has been instructed to issue an advertisement.<\/p>\n
The woman interrupted him and asked when will the advertisement be issued.<\/p>\n
Mr Kesarkar was then heard telling her that if she continued to behave in indisciplined way, she can not get a government job.<\/p>\n
“I am as strict as I am affectionate. For me, my students are important. You are worried about the job and for that I made available 30,000 jobs but if you teach the same indiscipline to students, then I won’t accept it,” the minister said.<\/p>\n
As she continued to speak, the minister warned that he will seek out her name and ask the officials to disqualify her.<\/p>\n
NCP MP Supriya Sule criticised Kesarkar over the incident, and said Chief Minister Eknath Shinde should rein in his ministers.<\/p>\n
Kesarkar should apologise to the woman, she said in a social media post.<\/p>\n
