A few days back Trinamool Congress national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee met a delegation of the protesting candidates and assured them that "justice would be delivered". Banerjee had assured them that he would ensure that candidates featuring on the merit list will get jobs. 

The meeting was held at Banerjee's Camac Street office where Basu and TMC state general secretary Kunal Ghosh were also present.
