Bihar minister says BPSC exam may be cancelled if irregularities are found

Bihar Minister Dilip Jaiswal stated that the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) exam could be cancelled if an ongoing inquiry uncovers irregularities. This marks the first significant government response amid rising tensions over the exam. Opposition parties, including RJD and Congress, have called for a High Court judge to investigate the BPSC exam. They are also organizing a protest on January 12, following the arrest of poll strategist Prashant Kishor. Jaiswal criticized the opposition for politicizing the students' agitation, claiming they lack relevant issues. He urged BPSC aspirants to trust the government and the commission.
