Cong Alleges 'Large-Scale Irregularities' in Haryana TET Exam, Demands Re-Test Senior Congress leader and MP Randeep Singh Surjewala on Sunday accused the Haryana Teacher Eligibility Test (H-TET) Level-3 examination of being compromised by widespread irregularities, including alleged paper leaks, broken seals on question paper packets, mismatched OMR sheets, and numerous printing errors. The exam, held on July 4 at 238 centers across Haryana, was conducted for the post of Post Graduate Teacher (PGT). Surjewala claimed that the integrity of the process was severely undermined, with multiple issues reported across various locations. He highlighted that sealed packets containing question papers were found broken at examination centers in Rewari, including Sanglo and Suraj schools, as well as in some centers in Charkhi Dadri. Surjewala stated that invigilators informed candidates the packets had been received in the same condition as when they were sealed, raising questions about the handling of the materials. The Sub-Divisional Magistrate and nodal officer in Charkhi Dadri reportedly acknowledged the broken seals issue but shifted responsibility to the Haryana Board of School Education. The Congress leader further alleged discrepancies between the serial numbers on question papers and OMR sheets at centers in Rewari and Kaithal. He noted that some candidates were initially issued OMR sheets with another candidate’s roll number, which were later replaced after objections. Surjewala also pointed out the availability of spare OMR sheets in large quantities, which he argued cast doubt on the examination’s integrity. In Rewari, candidates appearing for the English PGT examination were initially given Economics question papers before they were replaced.#nayab_singh_saini #haryana_board_of_school_education #randeep_singh_surjewala #haryana_teacher_eligibility_test #charkhi_dadri
Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah Set to Resign, DKS Poised for Succession Amid Internal Power Struggle Barring a last-minute surprise, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is set to resign Thursday, marking the end of a political tenure that spanned over eight years and 12 days across two terms. This would surpass the record previously held by his mentor, D Devaraj Urs, and signal a significant shift in Karnataka’s political landscape. A senior official at Karnataka Lok Bhavan confirmed that Siddaramaiah had sought time to meet Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot on Thursday afternoon, a move expected to clear the path for Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar to assume the role of the next chief minister. However, the ruling Congress party has remained officially silent on Shivakumar’s elevation, leaving the transition shrouded in uncertainty. Sources indicate that Siddaramaiah is pushing for a Congress Legislature Party (CLP) meeting with the party’s high command to elect his successor. This move is viewed by party insiders as an attempt to block Shivakumar’s path to the top post. Siddaramaiah’s camp believes a formal CLP election could result in home minister G Parameshwara emerging as a consensus candidate, particularly with sections of MLAs expected to support the senior Dalit leader. Such a development would not only delay Shivakumar’s elevation but also allow Siddaramaiah to claim political credit for facilitating Karnataka’s first Dalit chief minister from the Congress. Congress insiders familiar with the developments revealed that Siddaramaiah agreed to step down after directives from Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. The veteran leader credits Gandhi for backing him to become chief minister twice despite being seen as an outsider within the party structure.#rajya_sabha #karnataka_cm_siddaramaiah #dk_shivakumar #congress_legislature_party #randeep_singh_surjewala
