'AAP running paper leak mafia in Punjab': BJP alleges, demands CBI probe

New Delhi, Nov 5 (UNI) The BJP on Thursday slammed the Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab over alleged irregularities in the Punjab PCS Mains examination results, accusing it of favouring candidates and running a “paper leak mafia”, and demanded a CBI probe.
Speaking to mediapersons, BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari alleged that candidates who were not even enrolled for the examination and did not have roll numbers had been selected.
He also questioned how 24.2 per cent of the selected candidates came from a single examination centre, while the selection rate from a nearby centre was around 2 per cent.
“How could nearly 25 per cent of the candidates be selected from a single centre? This seems highly impossible, conceptually and logically," Bhandari said, alleging involvement of AAP leaders.
Bhandari also alleged that the prescribed norm of calling three candidates for an interview against every vacancy was not followed in the selection process.
“There is a norm that candidates appearing for the examination are called for interviews in a ratio of three candidates for every vacancy. This procedure was not followed this time,” he said, demanding a CBI probe.
