Chirag Paswan Demands Cancellation Of BPSC Exams

Union Minister Chirag Paswan on Wednesday backed the protesting aspirants for their demand regarding cancellation of BPSC exams held last month, PTI reported.

He said that he was told at some centres, question papers were not available in adequate numbers, following which they were printed after the tests had officially begun. "After a short while, these question papers were for all to see on social media platforms like WhatsApp and X," he added.

The Union minister further lambasted the BPSC authorities for turning a deaf year to the complaints raised by the aspirants and questioned why the commission ordered re-examination for one of the centres if it was sure that everything was fine.

"I believe that the entire exam, not just for one or two centres, be cancelled and held afresh and the BPSC must ensure that standard operating procedure is observed. I have expressed this opinion in the past and will continue to do so till the voice of youngsters is not heard," he said.
