Union Minister of Education Dharmendra Pradhan hit out at the West Bengal government on July 23 after the arrest of former State Education Minister Partha Chatterjee by the Enforcement Directorate. The Minister is allegedly involved in the School Service Commission (SSC) scam. Dharmendra Pradhan said, “The condition of Bengal, that used to inspire India in the field of education, the land of Swami Vivekanand., Rabindranath Tagore, Aurobindo, Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar and Bankim Chandra Chatterjee is such that High Court has to order CBI inquiry into the (then) Education Minister following the objection of youth.” “Rs 21 Crores cash is found in his residence, he has been arrested and he is a minister, this shows the condition of Bengal today. This is a serious matter. Where does the state government want to take the youth of Bengal, their employment? This is a matter of concern. Law will take its toll. This is a government of the corrupt,” he added.
