BJP Questions Rahul Gandhi Over Karnataka KPSC Exam Paper Leak and Related AllegationsPreviousNext

The BJP has accused the Congress party and Rahul Gandhi of double standards regarding the Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) Veterinary Officer Recruitment exam paper leak. BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra alleged that the leak involved middlemen exchanging money and linked a Rs 22 lakh diamond necklace to the scandal. Investigations by Karnataka's CID and Enforcement Directorate revealed financial transactions and implicated officials. The Karnataka High Court ordered a Special Investigation Team, but the state government challenged this in the Supreme Court. Patra called on Rahul Gandhi and Congress to address these allegations.
