The state Congress chief demanded the resignation of the Maharashtra Public Service Commission chairman and secretary, accusing the government of apathy after a paper leak scandal.
A paper leak involving the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) has triggered political fallout in the state. The chief of the Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee publicly called for the resignation of the commission's chairman and secretary, saying the incident reflects the government's indifference to administrative integrity.
In a statement released to the media, the Congress chief asserted that the leak undermines the credibility of the civil services examination and demanded immediate accountability from the top officials overseeing the process.
The demand comes amid growing public concern over the security of competitive exams in Maharashtra. While the MPSC has not yet confirmed the identities of the individuals responsible for the breach, the commission has pledged a thorough investigation.
Opposition leaders have urged the state government to act swiftly, warning that any delay could erode public trust in the recruitment system. The ruling party has yet to respond to the resignation calls.
The incident adds to a series of recent controversies surrounding examination integrity across India, prompting calls for stricter safeguards and transparent oversight mechanisms.
