AGARTALA, Jan 19 (TIWN): When High Court led various verdicts have confirmed massive corruption in various departments either in recruitment or in termination / recruitment cancellation, BJP Govt’s decision of recruitment via outsourcing has raised eyebrows on the Govt’s intentions. On Saturday while addressing in a protest rally CPI-M’s youth wing DYFI Secretary Nabarun Deb said, “The new recruitment not only will cause deprivations, but also to add corruption which has already infected various departments”. A massive rally followed by mass-deputation to Tripura State Electricity Corporation (TSECL) was staged in Agartala by CPI-M units against the privatization mode of recruitment in the Govt departments. The protest rally was marched by DYFI, TYF, SC-Coordination Samiti.While agitating, the leaders said that outsourcing employment by corrupt means and calling tender to identify qualified jobs aspirants is totally illegal and in govt dept such recruitments can not be done. Around 3,000 to 3,300 posts will be reportedly being filled by Tripura Govt in various depts by this mean from TSECL to Social Welfare Dept. CPI-M as pre-announced has stated protest against it.

“Till now, the TSECL employees had certain security. Govt had liabilities to its employees, but the new recruitment will hit the employees”, Nabarun Deb told the gathering.

“Nobody knows where the BJP Govt is taking the employees and unemployed youths. Along with nation, in the state also continuously unemployment rates are increasing. Tripura was not in top position before Election 2018 but today Tripura tops in unemployment”, said Nabarun Deb.

Former Minister Manik Dey hit the BJP Govt for its failed Vision Document promises given to the unemployed youths and now suggesting to rear cows at homes.

CPI-M said when BJP promised to 50000 jobs in 1-year, now to appoint own party people, Govt has started to recruit in illegal means. On the other side, around 1,100 “Gram Sevak” to be recruited but again the process could not be known.  Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb has announced that around 1,100 Gram Sevaks will be recruited in the state soon. He made the announcement while commencing of Police Week Parade at Manoranjan Debbarman Stadium at Agartala this morning.

Within 21 months of a Govt, various corruptions, violation of guidelines have been exposed although Chief Minister Biplab Deb has continued to claim that BJP Govt is following “Transparent” recruitment policy. Earlier, illegal tender for cancer medicine purchasing was exposed under the Health Dept and then cancellation of existing recruitment’s decision also faced a major blow when High ordered Tripura Govt to recruit TPS officers cancelling Govt’s decision of recruitment-cancellation. Then recently allegation raised against Education Dept for leaking question papers under Ratanlal Nath. Amid all these, another expose of corruption reported when High Court of Tripura cancelled illegally recruited 5 APP recruitments.

On January 13, Tripura High Court has cancelled illegal termination of a pump operator Uttam Deb who was terminated in an order by Minister Manoj Kanti Deb. At the same time, High Court also has cancelled the illegal recruitment of one Joyjeet Mandal who was recruited under the recommendation of Minister Manoj Kanti Deb.
