The Rajasthan Police on Monday detained a government teacher for trying to bribe cabinet minister Madan Dilawar for school education at his Jaipur residence.
The incident occurred when the minister was holding a public hearing at his official residence in the Civil Lines area. According to the minister, teacher Chandrakant Vaishnav arrived with a letter, a box of sweets and an envelope. The minister said that he had nothing to doubt by looking at the envelope because he is normally with letters, “Thinking that it could be someone recommended. But then my photographer Bharat told me that apparently the envelope has money. Once we opened, it was Rs 5,000.”
Vaishnav posted as a level 2 science teacher in Ghatol, Banswara, was demanding a recommendation for appointment as a writer in the textbook committee for class 6-8, which comes under Rajasthan State Educational Research and Training (RSCERT).
To influence the minister, who has an RSS background, Vaishnav said in his letter that he was associated with the RSS student organization, “Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), and the Sangh’s ideology.” He said that at present, while assuming the position of a teacher, he is “associated with organizations like Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh, which is associated with the Sangh’s ideology.”
According to the ideology, indicating his desire to re -write the textbooks, Vaishnav said that the new textbooks would be “draft” according to the intention of the present government and demanded a recommendation from the minister for his inclusion in the committee.
Dilawar said that this was the first such example of his life which is also “worst”.
“This is the first such example of my life; I have been in politics for 35-36 years and a third time a minister. It is quite painful that the education minister can bribe and act at his request,” Delever said, this was also the first time he saw the person.

Excavating a Congress, Dilawar said, “I would not like to comment on the past or future. There may be a tradition (to bribe the minister). Therefore, he dared to do so.”
