BJP slams Congress over alleged double standards in Karnataka exam leak

BJP MP and national spokesperson Sambit Patra on Wednesday raised questions about the Congress party's handling of a paper leak in the Veterinary Officers Recruitment Examination conducted in January, accusing the opposition of selective outrage on governance issues.

Patra alleged that the Congress and its leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, have been inconsistent in their criticism of administrative failures, particularly when such lapses occur in states governed by their own party. The BJP spokesperson pointed to the examination breach as evidence of what he described as double standards in the opposition's political posturing.

The Veterinary Officers Recruitment Examination paper leak had raised concerns about the integrity of the recruitment process in Karnataka. The incident occurred amid broader discussions about examination security and administrative accountability in the state.

The BJP's criticism comes as both national parties continue to spar over governance and administrative efficiency ahead of upcoming electoral contests. The accusation reflects the intensifying political discourse between the ruling party at the national level and the principal opposition regarding their respective track records on administrative matters.
