Opposition Congress and INLD have stepped up their attack on the BJP government in Haryana over the alleged cash-for-job scam issue, with both the parties demanding dissolving the Haryana Staff Selection Commission (HSSC) and an in-depth probe into the matter.

The flying squad of Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar had on April 5 unearthed the alleged cash-for-job racket involving employees of the HSSC and other departments and "brokers".

They would take money from aspirants for selection in government jobs, an official spokesperson had said.

Terming it the "biggest ever" scam in the history of Haryana, Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala asked, "If the chief minister's claims of transparency and accountability are genuine, why is he running shy of disbanding the staff selection commission and ordering an inquiry by two sitting judges of Punjab and Haryana High Court?"
