A government school principal in Rajasthan’s Jhalawar was suspended after a video of students pledging to vote for the Bharatiya Janata Party was widely shared on social media.
“We pledge to uproot this government, which does not give ration for 25 years and to keep voting for BJP for 25 years,” the students belonging to Classe 1 to 5, were heard as saying. The pledge was administered by BJP district’s chief Dinesh Mangal.
The incident took place on December 9 at the government upper primary school in Maharajpura village.
Block education officer Virendra Singh said that a probe has been ordered into the incident.
Principal Sitaram Meena claimed that the event was organised after school hours.
