The Asom Jatiya Parishad (AJP) has demanded a high-level probe into alleged irregularities in the Assam Direct Recruitment Examination (ADRE), asserting that fraudulent appointments in positions reserved for the tea tribe and Adivasi communities have revealed significant flaws in the recruitment process.
Addressing media persons on the issue, AJP president Lurinjyoti Gogoi alleged that candidates were using fake documents to secure jobs in reserved categories and termed this unfortunate.
He said, “Alleged use of fake documents by some candidates to secure jobs in reserved categories was unfortunate and deeply concerning. The rights of the tea community could not be compromised.”
The party cited departmental findings indicating that 98 candidates have already been declared ineligible and that legal action would be initiated against those who attempted to secure appointments through fraudulent means.
According to AJP, complaints against 123 candidates led to a fresh round of document verification under the supervision of the Tribal Welfare Department. Of these, 25 candidates reportedly failed to appear for verification, 21 produced valid documents, and 24 were unable to submit complete documentation.

The party said these developments have raised questions about the transparency and credibility of the recruitment process.
AJP also flagged what it termed a “serious allegation” that positions reserved for tea tribe and Adivasi candidates may have been diverted to outsiders.
Among its key demands, the party called for an immediate high-level inquiry into the issue, full disclosure of all documents related to appointments in reserved posts, and the cancellation of appointments of those found guilty, along with appropriate legal action.
