Summary:
“The practice of hiring employees through outsourcing agencies has reached an all time high in the incumbent government’s tenure. Palwal MLA Karan Dalal on Wednesday demanded a special audit of the Haryana government’s funds meant for recruitment and engagement of contractual employees through outsourcing agencies. He further claimed that outsourcing agencies were also collecting EPF and ESI contributions from the salaries of employees and departments, but the same was not being deposited with the provident fund department and was pocketed by employers or contractors. Former Congress MP from Faridabad Avtar Singh Bhadana, MLA Lalit Nagar and former Haryana minister Mahender Pratap Singh are among other contenders for this party ticket. In his letter to Governor Satyadev Narayan Arya, Dalal alleged that some such agencies were being run by relatives of senior BJP and RSS functionaries of the state..
