Delhi unit of BJP has demanded the state government scrap recruitment examination body DSSSB alleging it has become a "den of corruption and collusion" by vested interests.

Party MLA and Leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly Vijender Gupta said Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board (DSSSB) had "disastrously" failed to meet the objective for which it was formed and asked Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to do away with it.

"The Board has not only failed to fill thousands of vacancies in various departments of the government and its agencies but it has also become a den of corruption and collusion including corrupt candidates and officials," he charged.
 

He alleged there was a "deep-rooted nexus" involving "corrupt" candidates, middlemen and Board officials resulting in "massive irregularities" in recruitment tests conducted by DSSSB.

The Anti Corruption Branch (ACB) had last month registered a case under Prevention of Corruption Act, on a complaint alleging malpractice and irregularities during examination conducted by DSSSB for Grade II posts.
