Indore, (Madhya Pradesh) [India] October 8 : Bharatiya Janata Party leader Kailash Vijayvargiya alleged that a significant corruption case is about to be exposed involving Mamata Banerjee's family shortly after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) conducted search operations at the residence of TMC (Trinamool Congress) leader Firhad Hakim in connection with alleged irregularities in civic body recruitment.
"There has been a lot of corruption there. They (WB govt) never answer the notices sent under the Right to Information Act. The connection of this corruption is with Mamata Banerjee's nephew Abhishek," Vijayvargiya alleged while speaking to ANI on Sunday in Indore.
"A huge case of corruption is going to be unearthed which will expose Mamata Banerjee, who dreams of becoming the PM, and how corrupt her family is," he alleged.
CBI on Sunday carried out search operations at the residence of Kolkata Mayor and Trinamool Congress (TMC) Minister in West Bengal Cabinet Firhad Hakim in connection with alleged irregularities in civic body recruitment.
Officials said that searches were carried out at around 12 places including Kolkata, Kanchrapara, Barrackpore, Halisahar, Dumdum, North Dum Dum, Krishnanagar, Taki and Kamarhati.
The raids were conducted at the premises of certain individuals including public servants in the ongoing municipal bodies recruitment investigation.
A case has been registered against the director of a private company and some other individuals following the orders of the Calcutta High Court, CBI officials said.
CBI officials alleged that all contracts pertaining to various Municipalities, District Primary School Councils and others for the recruitment of Group C and Group D employees were given to the private company.
It was further alleged that the said company was entrusted with all the tasks like setting up of question papers, printing and scanning of OMR sheets and preparation of the final merit list.
It was also alleged that the Director of the private company and other individuals including public servants hatched a conspiracy among themselves.
In pursuant to that conspiracy, the accused who was responsible for the printing, designing and evaluation of OMR sheets allegedly facilitated the illegal appointments of several unmeritorious candidates in several municipalities in lieu of money, CBI officials said.
Further investigation into the case is in progress.
