Trinamool Was Aware Of School Jobs Scam, Reveals Senior Leader Kunal Ghosh

Kunal Ghosh's statement comes a day after the TMC removed him from the post of party state general secretary, shortly after he shared a stage with Bharatiya Janata Party Janata Party Janata Party Lok Sabha candidate Tapas Roy and praised him.

Speaking to a Bengali news channel ‘ABP Ananda’, Kunal Ghosh, who was considered close to TMC national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee, said, “The party was well aware of the fact that large-scale corruption and extortion in lieu of jobs was taking place in the school education department. The party was aware of it even before the 2021 assembly polls."

The TMC leader added that it was “due to this information about large-scale corruption that TMC leader Partha Chatterjee was shifted to the industry department from the education ministry after the party returned to power for the third consecutive term in 2021.”
