As the Jharkhand Assembly elections get closer, the JMM coalition government led by Hemant Soren is getting a lot of attention because of claims that test papers were leaked and there were problems at the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC). There is a lot of anger because more and more people say that the administration’s lack of dedication to exam safety has put the future of the state’s kids at risk. Union Home Minister Amit Shah recently criticized how the JMM government handled the situation in Jharkhand. He also stated that if the BJP wins, they would set up a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to find those responsible and bring them to justice.
SIT’s promise to deal with exam scandals
Amit Shah made the alleged wrongdoing sound very bad by saying, “More than 11 exam papers were leaked, but Hemant Babu is staying quiet because the people who did it are his close friends.” We will put together a SIT and make sure that the people who caused these leaks go to jail. His words make the BJP’s promise to work for openness and responsibility even stronger, especially since the Soren government’s reaction is getting more and more negative reviews.
Some people aren’t sure about how the Soren government handles exam security.
People don’t trust Jharkhand’s hiring process as much as they did before the wave of paper leaks. Some people say that the Soren government’s actions are questionable because they are focused on fixing the problems that caused the leaks instead of taking strong steps to stop them. People have made comparisons with other states that have taken strict steps to protect the integrity of exams, which has made people think that Jharkhand’s method is lacking.
When this happened, candidates and their families expected action to be taken quickly and someone to be held responsible. But the public’s anger has grown as the leaks have not been fixed quickly enough. People are more likely to think that the administration tried to downplay the problem to protect the government’s image instead of putting transparency first. Calls for accountability have not been answered, which has made the youth who are touched unhappy with the process. As a result of not being held accountable, people who want to work for the government feel cheated.
Many people say that the state’s weak response to the test leaks hurts not only the chances of young candidates but also the credibility of the hiring process. Because of these events, many people want an outside or court investigation because trust in the state’s own investigations keeps going down.
As opposition leaders and the public put more pressure on the Hemant Soren government, it will have to work hard to recover faith in Jharkhand’s process for exams and hiring people.
