There has once again been an uproar in the political and administrative circles of Jharkhand regarding the functioning of JPSC i.e. Jharkhand Public Service Commission. Amidst the questions being raised on the future of eligible youth and the transparency of the examination, the Commission has now come directly on the radar of the central and state investigating agencies. At the center of this entire controversy is JPSC Chairman L. Administrative decisions of L. Khiangte and the Commission have come, on which serious allegations of irregularities have been made. The situation has become so serious that the Commission is getting caught in the clutches of big investigative agencies like the State Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB), CID as well as the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to probe the layers of corruption and irregularities. Let us know who is L. Khyangte and what is the whole JPSC controversy.

Who is JPSC Chairman L. Khyangte?

l. Khiangte has been a very senior and well-known face of Jharkhand Administrative and Police Services. Before becoming the Chairman of Jharkhand Public Service Commission, he had also served on the highest administrative post like Chief Secretary of the state. During his long administrative service, he has been known as a tough and experienced officer. However, when he was given the command of JPSC after his retirement from the post of Chief Secretary, it was expected that there would be transparency in the functioning of the Commission and lessons would be learned from past mistakes. But after the revelations of alleged irregularities in the recent examinations, results and appointments, big question marks are now being raised on his leadership.

Why did Jharkhand Public Service Commission come under investigation?

JPSC has always been accused of paper leaks, irregularities in evaluation of copies and nepotism. Serious cases of ignoring the rules have come to light in the recently conducted examinations and interview processes. Candidates and various student organizations have strongly protested against the functioning of the Commission, alleging that it is favoring a select few by infringing on the rights of deserving youth. There is huge anger among the youth of Jharkhand due to lack of transparency in the examinations, after which the demand for an impartial inquiry into this entire rigging at the level of the government and the judiciary has intensified.

ACB, CID and CBI screw the investigation

After the matter gained momentum, now the investigating agencies have started tightening the noose on the office and files of JPSC. At the state level, the teams of Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) and CID are busy connecting the links of this entire racket to find out who were behind the scenes and carrying out this game. On the other hand, due to the possibility of far reaching corruption and the involvement of senior administrative officials, the demand for the intervention of the Central Investigation Agency (CBI) is also gaining momentum. As the scope of investigation is increasing, many officials of the commission and chairman L. Khyangte’s troubles are increasing continuously.
