Hemant Soren Government Under Fire for JSSC Irregularities - In the lead-up to the 2024 Jharkhand elections, the Hemant Soren-led coalition government is facing intense criticism over allegations of exam paper leaks and mismanagement within the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC). Public frustration has grown as many believe that the state's lack of urgency in securing the future of its youth has allowed these issues to persist. Amit Shah’s Promise of SIT Investigation Union Home Minister Amit Shah recently addressed the situation during his visit to Jharkhand, strongly criticizing the ruling Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) for its response to the exam leaks. Shah promised that, if elected, the BJP would establish a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to bring those responsible to justice. "More than 11 exam papers were leaked, yet Hemant Babu remains silent because the culprits are his close associates," Shah asserted. He vowed that a SIT would ensure accountability. Lack of Accountability Damages Public Trust The handling of these incidents has led to public distrust in the Soren administration. Critics argue that a more proactive approach could have prevented the leaks. While other states have strengthened security around public examinations, Jharkhand’s apparent inaction has raised questions about the administration's commitment to transparency in the recruitment process. Delayed Action Fuels Suspicion The delay in addressing these issues has intensified public outrage. Observers note that instead of immediately investigating the leaks, the government appeared more focused on safeguarding its reputation, deepening suspicions among citizens. No Accountability or Punishment for Wrongdoers Despite significant evidence of misconduct, accountability remains absent. This lack of action has disappointed young job aspirants, who dedicate considerable time and effort preparing for government positions. Many feel disillusioned by the state’s indifference toward securing a fair examination process. Rising Concerns Over Nepotism and Corruption In the current climate, there are growing concerns that nepotism and corruption in Jharkhand’s government job recruitment processes may be on the rise. Public demand for an independent or judicial inquiry is increasing, as confidence in the state's internal investigations continues to decline. READ MORE.....
