Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Tuesday refuted Opposition allegations that leaders of his party or government officials were involved in the second grade teacher recruitment paper leak.

Beniwal alleged that the CM is "helpless" as several MLAs who are supporting the government "demand government job for their people". "How will you give jobs? Through paper leaks only. Rest, those who study get a job. The entire system of the CMO is under suspicion and steeped in corruption. All ministers are doing loot. Give money and get posted," he alleged.

He said the state government should first get the second-grade teacher recruitment paper leak case investigated by the CBI after which other paper leaks can also be probed.
