Will come out with foolproof plan to make govt recruitment transparent: Rahul Gandhi on paper leaks
paper leaks, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said his party will not allow anyone to play with the future of students and come out with a concrete plan to make government recruitment process transparent. The issue of paper leak has become a curse not only for the youth of Uttar Pradesh but also for the entire country, he said in a post on X in Hindi.
Gandhi was apparently referring to the cancellation of a police recruitment examination in Uttar Pradesh following allegations of the question paper being leaked. The BJP-led state government, which has ordered a re-test, on Tuesday removed the chairperson of the UP Police Recruitment and Promotion Board.
In the last seven years, «more than 70 paper leak cases have shattered the dreams of more than two crore students», he claimed and added that this is «wasting precious years of building for the future». This also puts a financial and mental burden on the families of students, the Congress leader said.
The paper leak issue refers to frequent incidents of question papers of government recruitment examinations being leaked and tests getting cancelled.
«There is a need to ensure accountability at all levels by ending the criminal nexus of a negligent government, corrupt officials, 'cheating mafia' and private printing presses,» Gandhi said in his post.
He said when he spoke to students, they told him that there are three main reasons for paper leaks. There are «a sold out government machinery, private printing presses and subordinate services selection
