Reassuring the youth, particularly those affected by examination paper leaks in previous years, Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma on Friday said that all culprits and conspirators involved in such cases would be sent “behind bars.”

“I have repeatedly assured the people since assuming office in December 2023 that our government will not spare the guilty or the perpetrators. We have kept our word and will continue to fulfil every promise made to the people and mentioned in the BJP’s Sankalp Patra,” Sharma said.

Referring to paper leaks that occurred during the previous Congress regime, the Chief Minister said the present BJP government has so far lodged 137 FIRs and sent 438 accused to jail, adding that the number is likely to rise further. “Not a single person who conspired to shatter the dreams of the youth will be allowed to go scot-free,” he asserted.
In contrast, Sharma alleged that the previous Congress-led government had soft-pedalled such cases and failed to register even a single FIR. He pointed out that during recruitment examinations conducted in 2018–19 by the Rajasthan Staff Selection Board (RSSB), authorities from a neighbouring state had alerted the then state government about the culprits, some of whom were even apprehended outside Rajasthan. “Despite clear leads and breakthroughs, the previous government failed to act,” he said.
The Chief Minister also expressed satisfaction that not a single paper leak incident has been reported since December 2023 under the current BJP government.
He further criticised the Congress for its alleged failure in delivering good governance, slowing down development, and being unable to curb corruption, accusing it of now spreading false narratives to cover up past misdeeds.
Earlier, the Chief Minister inaugurated and laid foundation stones remotely for 71 development projects and welfare initiatives, involving an investment and grant allocation of ₹529 crore for the Deedwana–Kuchaman district, which was carved out nearly three years ago by the previous Congress government.
Sharma also distributed cheques and certificates to beneficiaries under various welfare and empowerment schemes.
Minister of State for Revenue VS Chaudhary, Kisan Commission Chairman CR Chaudhary, and several senior leaders were present on the occasion.
