These days, there is a stir in the country regarding the system of making IAS without examination, i.e. lateral entry. The opposition has strongly opposed the 45 appointments being made through lateral entry. Meanwhile, LJP (Ram Vilas) has taken a different stand from the constituent parties of the NDA alliance. LJP (Ram Vilas) chief Chirag Paswan said that my party does not agree with lateral entry at all. I will put it before the government. 

Union Minister Chirag Paswan said, "I and my entire party are of the clear opinion that any government appointments should be made keeping in mind the provisions of reservation. There is no such system in the private sector. In such a situation, any government appointment, at any level, should keep in mind the provisions of reservation. It has not been kept in this, it is a matter of concern for us. I am a part of the government and I will put it before the government. Yes, my party does not agree with this at all. "

Statement given to the opposition regarding the Kolkata incident

On the incident of RG Kar Medical College in Kolkata, Chirag Paswan said that it is wrong you look at criminal incidents selectively like this. The opposition will raise the incidents in NDA states but will remain silent on the incidents that happened in their state. This is wrong. I say that this thinking itself is wrong. There is a need for you people to unite and fight against this criminal mentality. Whether it is the ruling party or the opposition, no one can tolerate this incident. In such a situation, until we do not come together, such criminals will keep getting strength. There is a need to set such examples so that in the future no one can commit such a heinous and condemnable incident.

What is lateral entry, over which there is a ruckus?

Let us tell you that the appointment of the Secretary and Deputy Secretary in various ministries is done through the examination of the Union Public Service Commission. It is one of the most difficult examinations in the country. Every year lakhs of candidates participate in it, but only a few are successful. At the same time, the central government has decided to develop a system of lateral entry. Under this, candidates can claim these posts without taking the UPSC exam. There is a political battle going on regarding this. Opposition parties say that this will hurt the interests of the people of Dalit, OBC, and tribal communities. In such a situation, this system should be avoided. In the year 2018, the central government decided to develop this system, under which any candidate can get posts like Secretary and Deputy Secretary in the ministries.
