In response to reports of a question paper leak, the Uttar Pradesh government on Saturday cancelled the recently conducted police constable recruitment exam and ordered a reexamination within six months.
Digital Desk: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi stated on Saturday that those who unite will prevail and those who split would be defeated, referring to the Uttar Pradesh government's suspension of the police constable recruitment exam as a victory of youth unity and student power.
In response to reports of a question paper leak, the Uttar Pradesh government on Saturday cancelled the recently conducted police constable recruitment exam and ordered a reexamination within six months.
“Big victory for student power and youth unity! Uttar Pradesh Police Exam was finally cancelled. The message is clear – no matter how much the government tries to suppress the truth, our rights can be won only by fighting unitedly,” Gandhi said in a post on X.
“Those who unite will win, those who divide will be crushed,” he also said in his post in Hindi, using hashtags “#YuvaNYAY” and “#UPP_REEXAM”.
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, a Congress leader, said that the government had to bow to the power of youth, which is why the police constable recruitment exam was cancelled.
“Till yesterday, people sitting in the government were making statements in an attempt to deny the paper leak. When their lies could not stand before the power of the youth, the examination was cancelled today,” she said in a post in Hindi on X.
"The BJP government's widespread corruption is demonstrated by the leakage of exam papers, but the real issue lies in the government's careless and misleading behavior," she stated.
Vadra escalated his criticism of the BJP government, claiming they never acknowledged that the paper was leaked earlier.
She said that they had made false claims and attempted to scare the teachers and pupils.
“The result is that those who spearheaded the paper leak are roaming free. The entire incident shows that the BJP government is not serious about the future of the youth, but about saving its image and the examination mafia,” the Congress general secretary said in her post.
“The government should announce the new date as soon as possible and ensure that the paper will not be leaked this time,” she said.
A probe of the claims made by the Special Task Force (STF) was also announced by the Uttar Pradesh government.
Over 48 lakh candidates took part in the examination that was held on February 17 and 18 throughout the state.
"There can be no compromise with the sanctity of examinations," according to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who also promised tough action against "unruly elements."
“There can be no compromise with the sanctity of examinations. Those who toy with the hard work of youngsters will not be spared under any circumstances. Strictest action is certain to be taken against such unruly elements,” he said in a post in Hindi on ‘X’.
Police in Uttar Pradesh apprehended and arrested around 240 persons for allegedly adopting or preparing to use unfair methods during the recruitment exam.
