WB Corruption Allegations: From School Jobs Scam to 'Charge Sheets' Politics
•West Bengal's political landscape is dominated by corruption allegations, with TMC and BJP weaponizing cases ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections.
•High-profile cases involve senior TMC leaders in education, food distribution, and alleged illegal trade networks, including the school recruitment scam where 25,000 jobs were canceled.
•Key TMC leaders like Partha Chatterjee, Jyotipriya Mallick, and Anubrata Mondal were arrested, but several are now out on bail, which the TMC frames as vindication.
•BJP continues its attack, releasing 'charge sheets' against TMC MLAs and calling the party 'fully corrupt,' while TMC dismisses these as politically motivated.
•The debate also includes questions about investigative agencies, with some Opposition leaders seeing cases slow down after joining BJP, a phenomenon dubbed the 'washing machine' effect.
