शिक्षा विभाग में इतने बड़े-बड़े फर्जीवाड़े हो रहे हैं तो क्या विभाग के मंत्री की जानकारी में ये नहीं था? क्या मुख्यमंत्री कार्यालय को इसकी भनक भी नहीं लगी?

"Is the education minister not aware of such big frauds that are happening in the state? Did the Chief Minister's office not even know about it? Surprisingly, those who talk about zero tolerance are tolerating corrupt practices," she tweeted (translated from Hindi).
This comes in the backdrop after an FIR was lodged against a teacher, Anamika Shukla, who had allegedly withdrawn over Rs 1 crore in salary for over a year from 25 different schools. Shukla was allegedly working as a teacher in 25 schools for 13 months and was withdrawing salary from all of these.
On Tuesday Shukla appeared before Gonda basic education officer and alleged that her educational certificates were "misused" to take up jobs at Kasturba Gandhi Balika Schools.
