TFP Bureau, Raipur; February 19, 2024: In a recent statement, former minister and Kharsia MLA, Umesh Patel, expressed grave concerns over the alleged irregularities in the Public Service Commission (PSC) examinations, accusing the BJP-led government of jeopardizing the future of the state’s youth.
Highlighting the gravity of the situation, Patel emphasized that the questioning of PSC’s integrity and the alleged presence of incorrect questions not only undermine the credibility of the examination system but also pose a direct threat to the aspirations of the youth. He urged the authorities to conduct a comprehensive investigation into these irregularities and ensure that strict action is taken against those responsible.
Drawing attention to past instances of malpractice, Patel referenced the history of systematic irregularities during the tenure of the previous BJP-led Raman government. He reminded the public of the disruptions caused by PSC irregularities, including the suspension of examinations for prolonged periods, which significantly impacted the prospects of the state’s youth.
Furthermore, Patel condemned the reported incident involving PMT candidates being provided with leaked question papers in Mungeli, further underscoring the need for decisive action to restore trust in the examination system.
Demanding accountability, Patel called upon the BJP government to demonstrate its commitment to transparency and integrity by initiating a comprehensive investigation encompassing all instances of PSC irregularities. He stressed that the future of the youth should not be compromised for political gain, emphasizing that stringent measures must be taken against any party found guilty of undermining the sanctity of examinations.
In conclusion, Patel criticized what he deemed as attempts by the BJP to undermine the morale of aspirants preparing for competitive exams, asserting that such tactics have no place in the democratic fabric of the state.
The call for accountability from Umesh Patel underscores the growing concerns surrounding the integrity of the examination process in Chhattisgarh and the imperative need for swift and decisive action to uphold the interests of the state’s youth.
