NEW DELHI: In a veiled attack on two former railway ministers, “We have seen reports in media about a cash for job scam in a state. Investigations have exposed a serious scam of cash for jobs in a state, which is a matter of great concern to the youth of my country,” the prime minister said in a virtual address after distributing 70000 job letters under the Rozgar Mela. The prime minister further said, “If you want a government job, then there is a rate card for every post. The poor are being looted through rate cards. The rate is fixed for each post. If you want the job of a sweeper then there is a different rate for that, if you want the job of a driver then there is a different rate for that. If you want the job of nurse, clerk or teacher then there is a different rate for that. For each post, the rate card runs in that state and cut-money runs. Selfish political parties make rate cards for jobs.” 01:59 CBI raids multiple locations in Bengal linked with job scam in civic bodies The prime minister referred to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) exposing a cash-for-jobs racket in West Bengal’s municipalities and municipal corporations. The agency, while probing a teacher recruitment scam, stumbled upon evidence of another scam involving group D and group C positions.

On the other hand, Opposition leaders on Saturday stressed the importance of prioritising the safety of passengers by railways, while there were also demands to fix accountability and for the resignation of Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. In a statement, Congress Chief Mallikarjun Kharge said, "At this moment of a grave national tragedy on account of the terrible train disaster in Odisha, I have instructed the entire Congress party organisation to extend all possible help." "We have many questions to ask of the Prime Minister and the Railway Minister but those can wait since the immediate task is of rescue and relief," Kharge said. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who is a former Railway Minister twice and flew to the accident site on Saturday afternoon, demanded a proper investigation. "This is the biggest train accident of this century and a proper investigation must be conducted," the Trinamool Congress (TMC) chief told reporters. "Something must be behind this. The truth must come out. Why didn't the anti-collision system work?" Banerjee said CPI(ML) general secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya too raised the same question.
