LUCKNOW, Aug 1: Indian cricketer Rinku Singh’s educational qualification is coming in the way of his appointment on BSA post under Basic Education Department in Uttar Pradesh.
But on the other hand Election Commission of India( ECI) too has removed Rinku Singh from the list of its brand ambassador for his engagement with SP MP.
According to sources in the government a month ago, former Chief Secretary Manoj Kumar Singh had offered jobs to 11 players in various departments in which Rinku Singh was given the opportunity to join the post of Basic Education Officer.
But the biggest obstacle in Rinku Singh’s job is his educational qualification. In this regard, departmental officials say that Rinku Singh’s file was placed before the Chief Minister, but it
has been stopped due to lack of educational qualification.
Basic Education Director Pratap Singh Baghel says that a letter was sent to Rinku Singh to submit documents of his educational qualification. After which the entire file was sent to the Chief Minister
for recommendation. But the file has been stopped due to lack of educational qualification.
He says that the process of his job has been postponed for the time being. Whatever further instructions will be there, they will be informed.
It is worth noting that according to the rules of Uttar Pradesh Basic Education Department, it is mandatory for the candidate to be a post graduate for appointment to the post of BSA. Rinku
Singh was offered a job on this post under sports quota. But at present Rinku Singh has only
passed class VIII. Even if he get appointed on this post, he would have to obtain a post graduate degree within 7 years. But his current educational qualification cannot be completed within the time limit set by the government. This is the reason why his appointment has been stopped for the time being.
Meanwhile, ECI has removed cricketer Rinku Singh from his brand ambassador position for voter awareness campaigns.
This decision was made because Rinku Singh got engaged to Priya Saroj, an Samajwadi Party MP from Machhlishahr, Jaunpur.
The Election Commission stated that this engagement could be perceived as political bias, and his association is now considered linked to a political party.
Consequently, the Election Commission has ordered the removal of Rinku Singh’s photos and name from all promotional materials like posters, banners, videos, and digital advertisements.
