The opposition Biju Janata Dal's (BJD) youth and students' wings have escalated calls for a CBI investigation into alleged corruption in the hiring process for police sub-inspectors in Odisha.
Chinmaya Sahu, president of Biju Yuva Janata Dal, criticized the state government for outsourcing recruitment to private agencies and alleged a 'cash for job' scandal that has demoralized students. Thousands of candidates are reportedly affected, leading to a state-wide demonstration.
Arrests have already been made, including 114 aspirants and brokers involved in securing deals for government jobs. The Chief Minister has pledged accountability, promising punishment for those involved regardless of their influence.
