Bhopal: Weeks after Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) alleged there were cheating mafias in the Samajwadi Party-ruled Uttar Pradesh, it found itself in a spot of bother, after failing to curtail paper leak cases under its rule in Madhya Pradesh.
The class XII chemistry question paper was the latest example of MP Board of Secondary Education’s botched up exam preparations. The paper leak was reported from Morena on Thursday morning, followed by the arrest of three students.
Prior to this leak, class X question papers of English, Hindi, Mathematics, and Science, too, were leaked on WhatsApp groups. On Thursday, the police arrested three students, including Vaishnavi Yadav and Anshul Yadav, on charges of conniving to leak the question paper.
Upping the ante on the issue in Madhya Pradesh assembly, Leader of Opposition Ajay Singh and senior leader Govind Singh levelled serious allegations against the ruling BJP.
The two accused the state government of being hand in glove with the paper leaking middlemen and also accused the state government of patronising mass cheaters in schools across the state.
Interestingly, the question papers are not only leaked in the infamous Gwalior-Chambal region but at other places as well. Under pressure, following the repeated paper leak cases, the officials of MPBSE avoided commenting on the matter.
Sources in MPBSE said that these days the board is busy preparing fresh question papers for class IX and XI exams, and this could delay the announcement of class X and XII results.
Interestingly, Bhind and Morena districts are already infamous as cheating hubs of the state, but in the last couple of years, the administration had clamped down heavily on the cheating mafias, bringing a drastic decline in the number of cheating cases.
