There was a huge uproar in the political circles of Jharkhand when serious questions started being raised on the functioning of the administrative machinery regarding the investigation of the most famous and much talked about appointment scam of the state. The echo of scams playing with the future of the youth in the state has been heard from the Assembly to the streets for a long time, but now the needle of suspicion has directly turned on the role of the investigating agency i.e. CID in this matter. Senior leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party and former Chief Minister of the state, Babulal Marandi, while reacting very strongly to this entire incident, has directly attacked the present government of the state and the investigating agencies. His statement has come at a time when lakhs of youth of Jharkhand are continuously waiting for the fairness of the government system to get the rights of their hard work. After this revelation, there has been a stir in the administrative system and police department of the state, and the discussion has intensified in the political circles whether any planned conspiracy is really being hatched to cover up these big cases of corruption.
In any democratic system, when a big scam comes to light, the eyes of the public and the opposition first turn to independent and impartial investigative agencies so that milk can be milked and water can be watered. The large-scale irregularities and rigging that have come to light in various competitive examinations and restoration of government jobs in Jharkhand during the last few years have put the entire system in the dock. To get to the bottom of these cases and expose the real culprits, CID was entrusted with the responsibility of investigation. But as the scope of the investigation progressed, the clouds of doubt regarding its transparency and working style began to deepen. Experts and opposition parties believe that if the investigating agency becomes sluggish or starts succumbing to political pressure, then the hope of getting justice for the victims is lost. Regarding the slow and suspicious functioning of the CID, the question is now being raised whether this investigation is really being done to bring the accused to justice or is it just a pretense to suppress the files within the files.
Veteran BJP leader Babulal Marandi, known for his outspoken statements in Jharkhand politics, has openly spoken out against the alleged suspicious role of CID. He has made a serious allegation through the press conference and his statements that at the behest of the Jharkhand government, the CID is busy covering up this entire appointment scam. Marandi clearly says that the strings of this big corruption are not limited only to the lower level employees or brokers, but its real masterminds are the big political bigwigs and corrupt officials of the state. He alleges that since there is direct involvement of influential people in the corridors of power in this scam, a safe way is being prepared through CID to save all those faces. Babulal Marandi bluntly said that the way the direction of the investigation is being diverted and the fear of tampering with the evidence is being raised, it is a strong proof that the state government is working under the protection of criminals and is openly playing with the future of the youth.
The saddest aspect of this entire matter is that lakhs of unemployed youth of the state, who dreamed of shaping their future on the basis of these appointments and examinations, are feeling cheated today. The youth of Jharkhand have been struggling for a long time demanding employment, transparency and honestly conducted examinations, but every time they are pushed into the quagmire of administrative negligence and corruption. When layers of recruitment scams are revealed one by one, hope arises in the minds of the youth that now at least the culprits will be punished and they will get their rights. But when such news comes out that there is political pressure on the investigating agencies and preparations are being made to give clean chit to big officials, then the remaining confidence of the youth is completely broken. There is a huge anger among various student organizations and youth of the state regarding this matter, and they are warning that if an impartial high-level investigation is not conducted into this scam, they will once again be forced to take to the streets and launch a big protest.
All these questions raised on the role of CID in the Jharkhand appointment scam have raised the temperature of the state’s politics to the seventh sky. In terms of upcoming political and electoral equations, this issue is becoming a thorn in the neck of the present government, because the opposition is continuously raising question marks on the working style of the government by making it a big weapon. This message is also becoming clear among the public that how the governments claiming zero tolerance against corruption are actually working internally. The demand is gaining momentum that the investigation of this entire matter be handed over from the hands of the state level police or CID to a completely independent central agency, so that there is no scope for any kind of political interference. Unless the real masterminds of this entire racket – whether they are politicians or high-ranking officers – come under the grip of law and are given severe punishment, the injustice done to the youth of Jharkhand and the dark truth of this scam will not be completely exposed before the country.
