The Bharatiya Janata Party has urged the Central Bureau of Investigation to look into alleged paper leaks in the Punjab Public Service Commission exam, while the ruling Aam Aadmi Party has dismissed the accusations as unfounded.
The BJP on Monday demanded that the Central Bureau of Investigation launch a probe into alleged leaks of question papers for the recent Punjab Public Service Commission (PPSC) examination. Party leaders said the integrity of the recruitment process was at stake and that a swift, independent inquiry was essential to restore public confidence.
In response, the Aam Aadmi Party, which heads the state government, rejected the leak claims outright. AAP officials asserted that there was no evidence of malpractice and warned that the BJP's allegations were politically motivated attempts to undermine the administration.
The PPSC exam, which selects candidates for key civil service posts in the state, is a high‑stakes assessment that draws intense scrutiny each year. Past controversies over paper security have heightened sensitivities, prompting both parties to adopt firm public stances.
State officials have indicated that an internal review is underway, while the BJP continues to press for a full CBI investigation. The outcome of any probe could have significant implications for the upcoming recruitment cycle and the political narrative in Punjab.
