Mamata Banerjee Responds to Supreme Court Verdict on Teacher Recruitment Scam

Mamata Banerjee Stands Her Ground Amid Controversy Over Teacher Recruitment

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is once again in the spotlight—this time for her bold stance following a Supreme Court verdict that invalidated the recruitment of over 25,000 school staff due to procedural irregularities in a 2016 selection process. The ruling sparked widespread concern across the state, especially among those who suddenly found themselves without jobs.

In a passionate response, Banerjee met with many of the affected individuals at a packed gathering in Kolkata’s Netaji Indoor Stadium. She didn’t hold back—openly expressing her disagreement with the court’s decision and declaring that she was ready to face jail time if needed to support those who lost their livelihoods.

She announced a two-phase plan to address the crisis, promising to reinstate eligible candidates within two months. Her strong words and emotional delivery were met with cheers—but also chaos, as thousands tried to get into the venue, causing disputes and confusion.

Meanwhile, the opposition, particularly the BJP, has seized the moment to attack Banerjee’s government, demanding accountability and alleging corruption in the original recruitment process. The political temperature in Bengal is clearly on the rise once again.

Despite the storm, Mamata Banerjee remains defiant, projecting herself as the protector of the common people—even if it means challenging the highest court in the land.
