CJP Posters Allege Recruitment Irregularities at Visva-Bharati, University Rejects Claims
Some posters appeared around a big university campus.
The posters said some jobs at the university may have been given out unfairly.
A group with a funny name, the Cockroach Janta Party, is said to be behind the posters.
The posters talked about one office job and teaching jobs in three language departments.
But the university says these claims are not true.
The university's spokesperson said they will not talk about posters that do not say who made them.
Nobody knows for sure who put up the posters.
This happened while people were already asking questions about how the university hires workers.
Anonymous posters in the name of Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) surfaced across the Visva-Bharati University campus alleging recruitment irregularities.
The posters claimed irregularities in the appointment of an assistant registrar and in recruitment to the Bengali, English and Hindi departments.
Visva-Bharati dismissed the allegations as false and baseless.
University public relations officer Atig Ghosh said the institution would not comment on anonymous posters that carried no names or details of those responsible.
The veracity of the posters and the identity of those behind them could not be independently verified, and a faculty member suggested vested interests might be involved.
