Amid a row over irregularities in SSC appointments, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on May 13 slammed the BJP-led Central government for “misusing” federal agencies for settling political scores. Ms. Banerjee also claimed that there were many discrepancies in government recruitment during the erstwhile Left Front regime in the State, details of which she would “reveal soon”.
“The BJP is running a ‘ Tughlaqi’ regime (referring to 14th-century Muslim ruler of Delhi Muhammad-bin-Tughlaq) in the country and is trying to divide the nation. They are controlling Central agencies and using those to settle political scores," she said, while addressing a public meeting in Jhargram.
