The CPI(M) has condemned the cancellation of the 2016 SSC panel, holding the Trinamool Congress responsible for jeopardizing the future of qualified candidates. Former Jadavpur MLA and MP Sujan Chakraborty stated, “Trinamool has ruined the lives of deserving candidates.” He urged the CBI to take into custody those indirectly involved in the alleged corruption. Allegations of irregularities, bribery, and backdoor appointments in the SSC recruitment process have persisted, prompting calls for a transparent investigation.
