Patna: A day after Chief Minister Nitish Kumar cancelled the transfer and posting of 149 officers of the Land Record and Revenue Departments, the RJD slammed the "double engine" NDA Government and alleged that a transfer-posting industry is flourishing in Bihar.
"Massive corruption is taking place during the months of June and December every year and it was proven on Friday when Nitish Kumar cancelled the transfer-posting of 149 officials. It is an open secret in Nitish Kumar Government that bribes are taken for the transfer-posting," RJD national spokesperson Mritunjay Tiwari said.
Tiwari pointed out that not only the Ministry of Ram Surat Rai, who holds charge of the departments concerned, but every ministry is witnessing the same situation.
Noting that BJP legislator Gyanendra Singh Gyanu had alleged earlier that large-scale corruption was taking place in every ministry for transfer-posting, Tiwari said that their leader Tejashwi Yadav has also mentioned corruption in transfers and postings in the Assembly.
