Kolkata, Sept. 8 -- As the West Bengal School Service Commission (WBSSC) held a fresh recruitment test for teachers on Sunday, the noticeable presence of Uttar Pradesh residents among examinees at various centres triggered a political row. A total of 300,000 aspirants appeared for the exam on Sunday for 23,000 posts. WBSSC officials said around 31,000 candidates from other states appeared for Sunday's tests held to appoint Class 9 and 10 teachers in Bengal government schools. Many were from Jharkhand and Bihar as well, they said. Rajkumar Yadav, a resident of UP's Jaunpur district, came to Kolkata to take the written test that was last held in 2016. "I am doing my doctoral studies under CSIR. With government jobs nowhere in sight in Uttar Pradesh, I am trying my luck in Bengal. Unemployment is a huge problem in my state," Yadav told the local media outside a WBSSC examination centre. Satish Kumar, who came from Prayagraj, said he unsuccessfully sat for a test in Rajasthan as well. "I completed my B.Ed and M.Sc years ago but the Uttar Pradesh government is not recruiting teachers," Kumar said. The TMC shared videos the job seekers from UP to take potshots at the Bharatiya Janata Party, which rules the state. "A student from UP appearing for exams in Bengal tore into the farce of @myogiadityanath's 'Bulldozer Sarkar.' His words sting with truth: if the 'nithalla' Yogi Govt. created jobs, youth wouldn't be forced to leave their homes in search of survival," TMC said in a post on X. "This is @BJP4India's "double engine" - one engine bulldozes homes, the other bulldozes dreams." BJP spokesperson Sajal Ghosh raised the bribe-for-job case to counter the TMC....
