The BJP has criticised the Congress for not commenting on the recent exam paper leak in Jharkhand, demanding a clear stance.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday publicly questioned the Indian National Congress (INC) for its lack of response to the recent examination paper leak in Jharkhand. Party leaders said the silence undermines public confidence and called on the opposition to address the issue promptly.
The leak, which involved senior secondary examination papers, sparked concerns about the integrity of the state's education system. While the state government has launched an inquiry, the BJP argued that the Congress should not remain mute on a matter that affects thousands of students.
BJP spokespersons urged the Congress to either provide a detailed statement or join the demand for a transparent investigation. The party also warned that political inaction could become a tool for those seeking to manipulate the examination process.
No official comment has been received from the Congress at the time of reporting. The investigation by the Jharkhand education department is ongoing, and authorities have promised to take strict action against any individuals found responsible.
The episode adds to the growing political debate in the state, where education reforms and accountability have become focal points ahead of upcoming elections.
