Congress leader Sachin Pilot on May 12 called for a "change" in the entire structure of the Rajasthan Public Service Commission following the arrest of a commission member in the paper leak case.
Mr. Pilot was addressing his supporters who had gathered for his Jan Sangarsh Yatra, which entered its second day, at the toll plaza in Kishangarh of Ajmer district.
"Recently, an RPSC (Rajasthan Public Service Commission) member was arrested. It was for the first time in history that a member of the RPSC was arrested in a paper leak case. There is a need to change the entire structure.
"My struggle is for the people and I said that I will walk from the RPSC office in Ajmer to Jaipur and I will be in the public and get their blessings," Mr. Pilot said.
RPSC member Babulal Katara, one of the three people arrested last month in connection with the 2022 teacher recruitment paper leak case, had allegedly received ₹60 lakh for leaking the question paper, a senior police official had said.
Mr. Pilot on Thursday began a 125-kilometre foot march from Ajmer to Jaipur, challenging Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and the Congress top brass ahead of the Assembly elections in Rajasthan.
In Kishangarh, he was welcomed by a large number of supporters who cheered for him and showered him with flowers.
