Talking to the media, Aniket Mahata said that after learning from the media he and Ashfaqullah Naiya had given in writing seeking clarification for the sudden transfer.

“It was seen that Debasish Haldar was transferred to Gazole in Malda which was not in the vacancy list when the counselling took place. We all are ready to take transfer at any part of West Bengal but the recruitment process should be clear. This was another reason for our protest as there are several complications by the part of the state government over recruitment. If the state government wants to do favoritism, then they should clear that,” added Mahata.
