Patna, Dec 22 (NationPress) The matter of question paper leaks in Bihar has emerged as a critical political battleground, with both the ruling party and the opposition exchanging accusations. Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha has claimed that the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) is accountable for the leaks, escalating the existing conflict.
Sinha stated, “the RJD is behind the paper leak”, placing the blame on the opposition.
The uproar began when candidates created chaos at an examination center in Patna during the 70th BPSC examination, revealing increasing frustration among candidates regarding systemic issues in the examination process.
In retaliation, Tejashwi Yadav, the Leader of the Opposition, launched a fierce critique of Sinha, branding him as “not even worthy of being a Deputy CM”.
Yadav's comments heighten the political strain, as he strives to redirect the blame for governance failures toward the ruling coalition.
Addressing media inquiries in Katihar, Tejashwi Yadav dismissed the allegations that the RJD was involved in the paper leaks and instead accused the ruling government.
Tejashwi Yadav said: “If RJD members are leaking the papers, then why is Nalanda always linked to these incidents? Each paper leak points back to Nalanda.”
This remark is crucial as Nalanda is the home district of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
“If the government genuinely suspects the RJD is behind this, then why are they remaining inactive instead of taking action?” Tejashwi Yadav questioned.
The issues surrounding paper leaks in Bihar's competitive examinations, including the 70th BPSC examination, have raised serious alarm about the state's examination system.
The opposition has seized this issue as a prime opportunity to criticize the government's inability to ensure fairness and transparency.
Political analysts believe that by associating the incidents with Nalanda, Tejashwi Yadav has strategically intensified scrutiny on Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, further exacerbating political tensions.
This situation not only underscores the opposition's combative approach but also mirrors the growing discontent among students and the public regarding the state administration's management of essential processes like examinations.
