Politics heats up over JPSC controversy in Ranchi: Former chairman breaks silence, says it is not just about the 14th exam.

The controversies related to Jharkhand Public Service Commission i.e. JPSC are not stopping in the administrative and political corridors of Jharkhand. Amidst the questions being raised every day regarding the conduct of examinations, evaluation and selection processes, now a very big and shocking twist has come to light in this matter. The former Chairman of JPSC, breaking his silence on this entire controversy, has given a statement which has created a stir in political and administrative circles. He has bluntly demanded that not only the recent 14th Civil Services Examination, but also many other old recruitments and examinations conducted by the Commission in the past, should be conducted at a high level and impartially. After this statement, once again a heated debate has erupted in the state on the issues of transparency and corruption.

Big statement came amid controversy over 14th JPSC exam

For some time now, there have been continuous protests by student organizations and opposition parties regarding the functioning of the Jharkhand Public Service Commission examinations. Amidst the doubts being raised regarding the pattern and results of the 14th JPSC examination, when the credibility of the Commission was being questioned from all sides, this statement of the former Chairman is directly proving to be a dig into the inner layers of this entire system. He believes that unless the past decisions are also reviewed to remove the shortcomings of the system, the students’ lost trust in the Commission cannot be completely restored. This statement has given further fuel to those discussions in which transparency has been demanded for a long time during administrative appointments.

There should be a comprehensive investigation of old recruitments also, so that the truth comes out.

The former Chairman clearly said in his statement that instead of creating controversy over just one particular examination, it is necessary that to save the credibility of the Commission, there should be a comprehensive investigation of all the recruitments done in the previous years. He said that if there is any technical flaw or administrative lapse, it should be brought before the public and the candidates in a transparent manner so that such situations can be avoided in future. After this high level demand came forward, now the pressure has increased on the state government and the concerned investigating agencies as to what stand they take in this sensitive matter. Due to this entire episode of JPSC, the eyes of the youth of Jharkhand and lakhs of candidates preparing have once again focused on the political developments in the capital Ranchi.
