'Neither exams nor temples spared': Kejriwal attacks BJP after TET exam cancelled in Maha

NEW DELHI: Following the cancellation of an entrance examination due to suspected paper leak in BJP-led Maharashtra, AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday accused the saffron party of "sparing neither the exams nor the temples."The former Delhi chief minister appeared to allude to the recent NEET-UG paper leak controversy and the alleged theft of temple donations in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh—two issues on which he has repeatedly targeted the BJP."Another exam has been leaked. They've spared neither the exams nor the temples. They're stealing everywhere," Kejriwal wrote on X.Without naming anyone, he further said, "Some of their favourite people claim that only lower-level functionaries are involved and that the higher-ups have no role. But such large-scale chaos happening repeatedly every day isn't possible without the involvement of those at the top. It simply can't be that the money isn't reaching the higher-ups."Kejriwal went on to allege that the BJP leadership uses the money to "buy" MPs and MLAs from other political parties.He added that even if one were to assume that the higher-ups had no role, it would indicate that "nothing is being managed properly by them.""Temples aren't being managed. Exams can't even be conducted under them. How will they run the country? The country is not safe in their hands, friends," the AAP supremo wrote.The Maharashtra State Council of Examination (MSCE) on Saturday postponed the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) on the eve of the examination after a suspected question paper leak surfaced during a police investigation in Bhiwandi, according to an official statement.According to the MSCE, despite implementing all necessary security measures in light of the irregularities reported during the NEET-UG examination, confidential inputs revealed that certain individuals in Bhiwandi were in possession of information related to the TET question paper.The examination was scheduled to be held at 1,028 centres across the state. A fresh date for the test will be announced later, the council added.Get the latest India news and live updates. Download the TOI App.
