A delegation led by Leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly Vijender Gupta today met Lt Governor Najeeb Jung, alleging a "scam" in the recruitment procedure of the Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board (DSSSB).
"The LG was told about the functioning of Delhi government's DSSSB which is marred by corruption, inefficiency and collusion of its officials," Gupta said.
Besides Gupta, two other BJP legislators, Om Prakash Sharma and Jagdish Pradhan, the delegation also included some candidates of Grade-2 examination conducted by DSSSB.
Alleging "heavy rigging" in the Grade-2 (Das cadre) Exam conducted by the board for selection of inspectors, assistants, head clerks and other posts, the delegation demanded an enquiry into it by the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB).
"Money was taken from unsuitable candidates who were selected while the good candidates were intentionally failed by the corrupt officials of the board," Gupta further alleged.
The delegation also submitted documents and other evidences to the Lt Governor, in support of their charges.
