The Story in Brief
West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Saturday announced a fresh recruitment policy modelled on central systems, alleging that corruption under the previous regime had damaged the state's image. Speaking at the 19th Rozgar Mela organised by Eastern Railway at Sealdah, he said a symposium of all state recruitment organisations would be held on June 6, and a Bill to overhaul procedures would be introduced in the next Budget session.
Adhikari cited teacher and municipal recruitment scams and the cancellation of nearly 26,000 jobs after court intervention. He proposed reforms such as providing OMR carbon copies to candidates, reducing viva voce weightage, publishing scores online, and implementing the 100-point reservation roster. Union Minister Sukanta Majumdar said not a single corruption allegation had been recorded in the Rozgar Mela under Prime Minister Modi.
The Indian Opinion
Adhikari's promise of a 'transparent' recruitment policy is welcome, but Bengal has heard such vows before. The real test lies in the fine print: will the upcoming Bill truly end the patronage that plagued previous hiring? The claim that exam centres shifted to other states due to 'taint' needs independent verification. Watch whether the June 6 symposium produces concrete timelines or just political theatre. The key number to track is how many of the 26,000 cancelled jobs are actually restored.
