In a heated discourse over job terminations, teachers in West Bengal, who lost their posts following a Supreme Court decision, accused Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's administration of corruption and insufficient redress. They claim the CM offered meager consolation without addressing the core issues.

Suman Biswas, a former teacher, criticized the state government’s actions, citing involvement in systemic corruption and alleging bribery in job allocation. He expressed a determination to resist, urging public intervention and calling for the identification of non-corrupt employees.

Another ex-teacher, Meenakshi Singh, contested claims of ineligibility, demanding proof for the state’s accusations. Meanwhile, Banerjee alleged a plot against the education sector, highlighting her stance against the Supreme Court's decision and her commitment to job security for the deserving.
