Earlier, an application was made for the post of 1300 workers by the Department of Municipal Corporation. Lakhs of candidates applied for this. But at that time, more than 6000 candidates scored 100 out of 100 in the examination. That is why a transparent method was adopted to overcome the deficiencies of earlier workers’ recruitment process.
BJP MLA, Vijay Girkar demanded to cancel the recruitment of workers by the corporation in the Legislature. After this, he met the Chief Minister and demanded the cancellation of the examination. After the demand by the BJP, the House Leader of BMC, Yashwant Jadhav had also demanded to cancel the ongoing exams and conduct re-examination.
