Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee expressed her strong disapproval of the cancellation of over 25,000 school jobs, labeling it as ‘gross injustice.’
She alleged that it was a deliberate tactic by the BJP to prevent these job losers from being deployed in poll duty. During an election rally in the Medinipur Lok Sabha constituency in Paschim Medinipur district, Banerjee raised concerns about the ability of schools to operate effectively with a significant number of teachers unemployed.
If someone has committed a mistake, it can be rectified, but snatching 25,000 jobs is a gross injustice. How will the schools function, if so many teachers are out of jobs?
“It is a ploy by the BJP. I have respect for the judiciary but what has happened is gross injustice,” Banerjee said.
“So many jobs have been taken away so that these job losers cannot be deployed in poll duty during elections and central government employees can be engaged, who will work at the behest of the saffron camp,” she added.
The Calcutta High Court recently ruled that the recruitment process of the State Level Selection Test-2016 (SLST) in West Bengal government-sponsored and aided schools was ‘null and void,’ leading to the annulment of all appointments made under it.
