Controversy over his brother’s recruitment as Assistant Professor under the EWS quota. A controversy broke out in Uttar Pradesh after the State’s Education Minister’s brother was appointed as an Assistant Professor in a university in Siddhartnagar district under the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) quota.
While the university maintained that the recruitment was based on merit, the Minister said he was ready for a probe in the matter.
Arun Kumar, brother of Satish Chandra Dwivedi, Minister of State (Independent Charge) Basic Education, was appointed by the Siddharth University, a State University.
In a State where caste politics reigns supreme, the Minister was left wanting for a clarification after it came to light that his brother had been appointed under the EWS quota.
