Baby Chakraborty, KalimNews, May 30, 2025, Kolkata: During a public address in Nadia’s Dhantala as part of the Tiranga Yatra on Thursday, West Bengal Leader of the Opposition, Suvendu Adhikari, voiced criticism regarding certain administrative actions of the state government, particularly concerning the School Service Commission (SSC) and the recruitment process in the education sector.
Adhikari alleged that a recent notification issued in the name of the SSC had not followed appropriate procedural norms, claiming that such notifications should come directly from the commission itself, rather than being announced by the Chief Minister. He further commented on the announcement of an increase in vacant posts within the state’s recruitment framework, suggesting that such measures must align with existing legal frameworks, including the directives of the Supreme Court.
In his address, Adhikari expressed solidarity with job seekers and unemployed educators in the state. He asserted that the recruitment issues stemmed from systemic administrative failures and called for corrective measures to restore fairness and transparency. While speaking to the media, he assured that any steps taken outside the bounds of the law would be opposed and addressed accordingly.
Adhikari also questioned the inclusion of certain communities in the state’s Other Backward Classes (OBC) list. Referring to the addition of 111 communities, a majority of which are reportedly under judicial review, he raised concerns about the implications for social equity and ongoing legal scrutiny.
The Leader of the Opposition concluded by stating that his focus remains on safeguarding the rights of job aspirants and ensuring lawful governance. His comments are part of a broader political discourse in the lead-up to the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections, with employment and education likely to remain central issues in the public debate.
