Karnataka Chief Minister has directed District Collectors to take responsibility for recent question paper leaks, a move that has drawn criticism from the BJP, which labels it political hypocrisy.
The Karnataka Chief Minister has issued a directive to District Collectors (DCs) to assume responsibility for the recent leaks of examination question papers. The directive follows a series of incidents where question papers were found in circulation ahead of scheduled exams.
The move has sparked a response from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which has condemned the directive as an example of political hypocrisy. Party representatives argue that the focus on DCs overlooks broader systemic issues that enable such leaks.
While the Karnataka government has not released details on specific disciplinary actions, the directive signals a heightened emphasis on exam integrity. The state’s education department has reiterated its commitment to safeguarding the examination process.
Observers note that the controversy reflects ongoing tensions between state authorities and opposition parties over educational governance. The issue remains under scrutiny as authorities work to prevent future incidents.
