Is Harichand Gurchand University involved in recruitment corruption? Allegations suggest that Trinamool Rajya Sabha MP Mamatabala Tagore used her influence to secure a job for her daughter, Madhuparna Tagore, as a temporary worker at the university in February. The appointment reportedly lacked a public recruitment notice and was signed by Registrar Dr. Anandi Bagchi instead of the vice-chancellor. The BJP has called for a CBI investigation into the matter.
Questions arise regarding the legitimacy of the appointment and the absence of official recruitment procedures at the university. Harichand Gurchand University officials have defended the decision. Mamatabala Thakur from Trinamool has criticized the BJP for raising corruption allegations. The ruling party is under scrutiny for alleged corruption in educational institution recruitments.
The involvement of Trinamool in the appointment of temporary college staff, including the MP securing a position for her daughter, adds to the ongoing investigation. Corruption and political ties appear to be intertwined in this case.
