Teachers Association complains L-G against Sisodia’s OSD Praveen Chaudhary

The teachers’ fraternity has complained to the L-G about Chaudhary serving as the OSD to deputy CM for an extended period of time.

The Government School Teachers Association (GSTA) has written to the Lieutenant Governor urging to transfer Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia’s (OSD) Praveen Chaudhary. The association blamed Chaudhary, who is also a vice-principal of one of Delhi’s government schools, for being engaged in corruption activities.

GSTA secretary Ajay Veer Yadav said that Praveen being a vice principal is required to teach 18 hours per week; however, that is not the case since he enjoys the luxury of being the OSD to deputy CM.

The teachers’ fraternity has complained to the L-G about Chaudhary serving as the OSD to deputy CM for an extended period of time. “He has no work portfolio per se allotted to him at the deputy CM office therefore there is no administrative relevance to his holding the post of OSD there. He virtually substitutes as the deputy CM of Delhi in the education department owing to his prolonged posting as the OSD and maintains such an image accordingly,” read the letter to the L-G.

 “Praveen has many complaints against himself from the SC/ST and minority communities alleging his derogatory and discriminatory comments and conduct. Under threat of Praveen’s political pull, no action is ever taken on such severe complaints against him and the inquiry officers merely dismiss the allegations,” GSTA further stated according to the New Indian Express.

The association also blamed Chaudhary for authoritatively visiting schools and allegedly earning himself the image of someone who accepts and expects gifts on demand from various schools. However, the association has not received an response from the officials of the education department in relation to the complaint.
