Alleging rampant corruption and irregularities in the government recruitment process, Congress forsees another Vyapam-type scam in Goa.
The Vyapam scam was an entrance examination, admission and recruitment scam that was unearthed in Madhya Pradesh in 2013. It involved politicians, senior and junior officials and businessmen employing imposters to write papers, manipulate exam hall seating arrangements and supply forged answer sheets by bribing officials.
Congress President Girish Chodankar said CLP had a detailed discussion on the current recruitment scam taking place in the government, wherein favouritism, corruption, paper leak are taking place.
He alleged that there is systematic manipulation of papers to favour certain candidates. He urged the Polytechnics and Goa Education Corporation, conducting the examinations to be transparent.
“We are concerned that another Vyapam-type scam is in the making in Goa. We will expose each and everyone involved,” he said, pointing out to the recent recruitment of 19 junior engineers all from Curchorem Assembly constituency.
Chodankar said that Congress MLAs had submitted applications of several candidates from their respective constituencies but unfortunately none passed.
CLP also held discussions on the traffic sentinel scheme and warned the government of possible law and order situation due to poor implementation of the scheme.
