The protesters argue that conducting re-examination for a small section of candidates would be against the principle of equal opportunity, hence the entire examination should be canceled and the examination should be conducted afresh.
Kishore believed that “corruption is rife in BPSC”, however, he made it clear that he did not wish to pursue the scandalous allegations he had heard, but expressed his desire to talk to the delegation of protesting candidates by Chief Secretary Amrit Lal Meena. After expressing this, they are expecting “positive results”.
