Union Minister Bandi Sanjay asks TGPSC to provide details of selected candidates of Group-1 exam
Sanjay is seeking to implead in the petition filed by Group-1 aspirants in the Telangana High Court. Recently, several aspirants approached Sanjay alleging irregularities in the conduct of the Group-1 examination and selection process and sought justice.
Following this, the Minister of State wrote to the TGPSC chairman seeking details of all 563 selected candidates, including the marks list, the language in which the test was taken, hall ticket numbers for both Prelims and Mains, category, and details of alleged violations of rules 12.2 and 15.3, with reasons.
He also requested information about the valuation stages, the number of evaluation days and centres, and the total number of hours it took to complete the paper evaluation. Sanjay further sought details of General English and Papers 1–6, including medium-wise attendance, whether aspirants followed the biometric system, and if not, the reasons for non-compliance.
He also asked whether there were any discrepancies in attendance or absentee data. Sanjay alleged that a leak on social media suggested that 618 aspirants scored over 450 marks, which matched the official release, and questioned what action was taken against those responsible.
Sanjay also requested details on claims that over 1,500 candidates received the same marks, where hall ticket numbers were in the range of 0–50, and aspirants alleged the use of a coded marking algorithm. He questioned why only TGPSC followed this system when even UPSC and APPSC reportedly do not.

‘Bharat' should not be translated, or it will lose its identity: RSS chief
Kochi: 'Bharat' should not be translated as otherwise it would lose its identity and the respect it enjoys in the world, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat said on Sunday, while asserting that the country no longer has to be the 'golden bird' as it was time for it to become 'a lion'. 'Bharat' should not be translated, or it will lose its identity: RSS chief 'Bharat is a proper noun. It should not be translated. Bharat must remain Bharat. It's because if we lose our identity, whatever other meritorious qualities you may have, you will not be respected or secure in the matters and identity depends on your 'sanskriti' (culture). I don't use the word 'culture'. The word we use is 'dharma sanskriti' and it doesn't have an English name. Our culture is associated with traditions,' Bhagwat said at the national education conference, 'Gyan Sabha', organised by the RSS-linked Shiksha Sanskriti Utthan Nyas in Kochi, Kerala. Asserting that India has to become strong and wealthy from an economic point of view, he said: 'India does not have to be a 'golden bird' anymore. Instead, today's situation demands that India needs to become a lion, because the world recognises strength, not ideals. Bharat should be strong economically too. The world's best technologies must be visible here too. Without it, the world will not give us value.' 'We don't want to rule the world. We want the world to be a good place,' he added. Kerala governor Rajendra Arlekar, who was present at the event, echoed Bhagwat's views. 'The next generation will no longer be a golden bird. It wants to see Bharat as a golden lion. The whole world will see and hear this lion roar. We are not here to destroy anyone, but to give something new to the world for its development,' he said. Bhagwat, speaking on the topic 'Indianness in education', exhorted the audience to 'know Bharat and be a part of Bharat' in order to instil 'Indian-ness' or 'Bharateeyata' in education. 'In the education sector, we need reforms in a lot of areas. It should not be restricted to the curriculum alone,' he said. During the event, Arlekar hailed the National Education Policy 2020 as the first and serious attempt at decolonising our minds and educational institutions. 'With NEP, our thinking has been changed, how we view our culture and our are 'Vishwa Guru' today. We have to assert it properly. Our rulers failed to assert it properly back in 1947 when we achieved political freedom,' he said, adding that use of terms like 'mummy and papa' for mother and father in Indian households are proof of the 'damage' caused by the 'previous education system'. 'We are to be blamed for it, how such terms entered our families and households,' he added.

Kang becomes 1st in AAP to voice concern over Punjab's contentious land pooling policy
Chandigarh: Amid massive opposition to AAP govt's controversial land pooling policy in Punjab, AAP MP Malvinder Singh Kang on Sunday advised his party's supremo, Arvind Kejriwal, and Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann to hear "objections raised by farmer unions on the policy". In a post on X on Sunday evening, Kang, who is the first AAP leader to publicly voice his concerns regarding the controversial policy, said, "Govt should move forward only after taking farmers and our farmer unions into confidence through dialogue." He called on the state govt to listen to the farmers with empathy and address their issues through meaningful dialogue. "My suggestion to @ArvindKejriwal ji and @BhagwantMann ji is that our govt has done a lot for the betterment of farmers in the last three years, such as ensuring uninterrupted power supply for agriculture, aiming to deliver canal water to every field, expediting mandi reforms, and promoting crop diversification, among other efforts. On this policy too, govt should move forward only after taking farmers and our farmer unions into confidence through dialogue," he said. Kang, who put out the post in both Punjabi and English, said, "On this too, trust must be earned – not assumed – before any policy takes root." The AAP govt in Punjab, led by Mann, has been facing criticism from opposition parties, farm unions, and farmers ever since it proposed the land pooling policy. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Treatment That Might Help You Against Knee Pain Knee pain | search ads Find Now Undo Under the policy, state govt plans to acquire more than 40,000 acres of land across the state for housing and industrial projects, promising residential and commercial plots of varied dimensions, depending on the contribution of land parcels by them, for the contributing landowners in the developed projects. All three main opposition parties in Punjab, the Congress, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), and the BJP, have been opposing the scheme, calling it a "land grabbing" scheme. Punjab BJP chief Sunil Jakhar even termed it a "Ponzi scheme," even as the ruling AAP claimed it to be aimed at planned urbanisation in the state. Facing criticism over the policy, the AAP-led govt, after a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, approved a number of amendments to the policy. These amendments included annual compensation to the landowners, extending residential and commercial plot allotments to farmers with smaller landholdings, and issuing letters offering residential and commercial plots in a time-bound manner. The amendments aimed to allay the concerns of the farmers. However, criticism of the policy continued, with Kisan Mazdoor Morcha announcing protests against the policy on Wednesday. Opposing the policy, the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) also demanded its rollback. |
