Congress, BJD lash out at BJP government over medical PG exam paper leak incident in Odisha
The Maharaja Krishna Chandra Gajapati Medical College in Odisha has launched an investigation into an alleged medical postgraduate exam paper leak. Political parties, including the BJD and Congress, have criticized the ruling BJP government, citing a pattern of recurring examination irregularities in the state.
Why it matters
Frequent examination leaks undermine the integrity of the medical education system and erode public trust in government administrative capabilities.
The Maharaja Krishna Chandra Gajapati Medical College (MKCG), one of Odisha’s premier government medical institutions, has launched a probe into the alleged circulation of photographs of a postgraduate medical examination question paper on WhatsApp. The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) and the Congress on Friday (July 31, 2026) expressed serious concern over the reported leak and demanded stringent action against those responsible.
A six-member committee, headed by the college principal, has been constituted to investigate the “alleged incident of malpractice” and has been asked to submit its report within three days.
