West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has alleged that the question of CAPF (Central armed police force)exams constitutes some questions from BJP political interests. She also held UPSC partial in preparation of the question paper.
The allegation came after questions in CAPF exams consisted of questions relating to BJP driven schemes and policies. She claimed that it appears from the question paper that they were prepared in the BJP party office.
Banerjee said, “I was shocked to see that politically motivated questions were asked in an exam conducted by UPSC. I respect UPSC and our central forces. It shows how the BJP has politicised the central forces to serve its political interests. We have seen how CAPF were used to capture booths and kill people at Sitalkuchi in Coochbehar during the assembly poll in West Bengal”.
In April, four persons were killed in firing by the CAPF at a polling station at Sitalkuchi in Coochbehar during the fourth phase of the assembly poll in the state.
“This (questions) is too much and completely unacceptable. What is the message they (Centre) are trying to send out through this incident? That if you want to work in the central forces, you have to be a yes man of the BJP and believe whatever canards they are spreading,” she said.
“The UPSC is setting questions under the BJP’s direction. UPSC used to be an impartial body, but now its question papers are being prepared in the BJP’s party office. Even the question in a UPSC paper on farmers’ protest was politically motivated,” she said, adding that the saffron party is “destroying institutions like the UPSC”.
She also slammed the BJP for destroying the secular fabric and constitution of the country.
The BJP hit back at the allegations replying that there is nothing wrong to ask questions based on facts. The BJP also said that the UPSC is conducting examinations in a just and reasonable manner and all the allegations are baseless.
