The opposition and those who took the primary TET recruitment examination but failed to make the cut, are alleging that only Trinamool loyalists have been recruited and that allegiance towards the ruling party has been a deciding factor in selecting candidates. Our take...

During the last 34 years, there was only one university. But after coming to power, our government has built eight new state-run universities and three private ones. I have asked all the universities to complete their infrastructure development within two years from the day of formation...
