New Delhi, June 5: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) National Convener and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday launched a sharp attack on the Central Government over recurring examination paper leaks, alleging that the issue has evolved into a multi-billion-rupee racket involving influential individuals.
In a post on social media platform X, Kejriwal described paper leaks as a “business worth billions and trillions,” claiming that powerful people are behind the network. He urged citizens to unite and pressure the government into taking decisive action against those responsible.“For the future of your children, your families and the country, people must come together and demand an end to this menace,” he said.
In a video message, Kejriwal alleged that irregularities have become a recurring feature of examinations conducted by the Central Government, asserting that the problem stems from a lack of political will to curb malpractice.
Drawing a comparison with AAP-ruled states, he claimed that no examination paper leaks or major irregularities occurred during the party’s tenure in Delhi or in Punjab since the formation of the AAP government there.
Kejriwal also referred to the recent controversy surrounding the CBSE’s On-Screen Marking (OSM) system. He alleged that a company previously blacklisted in Telangana over examination-related irregularities was awarded a nationwide contract despite its record. According to him, no substantial action has been taken against those responsible, and efforts are being made to shield those involved.
The AAP leader further cited the controversy surrounding the NEET examination, alleging that reports suggested the paper leak occurred during the paper-setting stage. He questioned whether measures such as transporting examination papers through Air Force aircraft would address the root causes of the issue.
Accusing the government of protecting those involved in examination scams, Kejriwal alleged that influential individuals benefit financially from recurring leaks and irregularities. He maintained that meaningful reform would only be possible through sustained public pressure and collective action.
His remarks come amid ongoing debates over alleged irregularities in competitive examinations, including NEET and other national-level tests, with opposition parties continuing to demand greater transparency, accountability and reforms in the examination system.
