GA-RECRUITMENT-CONG

The Congress alleged Thursday

that a `Vyapam' kind of scam has taken place in government

recruitment in Goa.

Goa Congress chief Girish Chodankar claimed that the

recruitment process is plagued by nepotism and corruption.

Vyapam, the Madhya Pradesh government agency which

conducts examinations for admissions to professional courses

as well as for government recruitment, was rocked by a major

corruption scandal a few years ago.

Chodankar alleged that in Goa, candidates who are

close to ministers were being selected while meritorious ones

are being left out.

The Congress leader alleged that in the recent

recruitment in the Health and Electricity Departments, those

who were from the constituencies of the concerned ministers

were favoured.

This was "another Vyapam scam in making", he alleged,

seeking a probe by the Crime Branch.
