Siliguri 

Darjeeling BJP MP , Raju Bista tranined guns at the ruling Trinamul aginst the alleged teacher recruitment scam. Bista along with his fellow members of Parliament from west Bengal registered their protest held in front  of Mahatma Gandhi Murti in Parliamentary premises, against the complete collapse of the education system in the state. 

"Former West Bengal Minister Partha Chatterjee has been arrested for Teacher's Recruitment Ghotala with a cash of over 55 crores. MoS Education Paresh Adhikary's daughter had to be removed from the post of teacher and asked to return her salary by the Calcutta High Court, after it was found that she had been recruited as teacher illegally. CBI has said that over 21000 teachers have been recruited illegally in West Bengal. Not only the teachers, but even group C and group D staff in the schools had been similarly recruited. Calcutta High Court has removed over 1900 Group D staff, 842 Group C staff, 618 Secondary Level teachers"said Bista.

"TMC Ghotala is not confined to schools only, but in Colleges and Universities too TMC appointed underqualified faculty members. So much so, that the WB Govt subverted law to appoint politically connected individuals as Vice-Chancellors. Yesterday, Calcutta High Court has labelled those appointments too as illegal. Because of this, majority of the Universities in West Bengal are today running without legally appointed Vice-Chancellors.In Darjeeling District, CBI has arrested Vice-Chancellor Subires Bhattacharyya who was appointed by WB Govt as VC of North Bengal University (NBU). Such is the condition in NBU today, that students living in the hostel have been told they won't get food, as there is no one to sign the finance bill", added Bista who is also the National Spokesperson of BJP. 

Dubbing the lines of chief minister Mamata Banerjee 'you can slap me, but don't remove anyone from work' ,he said " It is evident that she is trying to shield those, who paid bribes to TMC leaders for their jobs". 

He further said ," Banerjee is known to run the state with an iron feast. Thus, we are apprehensive that no Ministers or Bureaucrats would be indulging in ghotala, without blessings from the top office in the state. We are hopeful when the investigations are completed, the actual Kingpins who are sitting at top will be made answerable for their corruption and sent to jai". (EoM)
