Reacting strongly to the “massive irregularities” in the valuation of the Intermediate examination answer sheets in Telangana, Jana Sena Party (JSP) president Pawan Kalyan stated that it was atrocious that the Telangana Board of Intermediate Education traumatised the students.
He observed that it was painful that 17 students had committed suicide after the results were announced, and demanded that the Government of Telangana owned up responsibility for the tragedy.
He said the students and their parents had many doubts, from the payment of fee to the valuation of papers to the announcement of results.
The government should divulge the facts, Mr. Kalyan stated, and condemned the remarks made against the parents by the officials of the board.
He further appealed to the students not to resort to suicide, assuring them that the JSP would stand by them in this hour of crisis. Parents who lost their children should be compensated and the culprits behind the scandal punished for playing with the lives of the youngsters, he said.
Fake tweet: YSRCP
Meanwhile, the YSRCP condemned a “fake tweet” using the handle of party president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, asking the cadre not to blame the Telangana CM for the “ongoing Intermediate results imbroglio.”
A message from the party said that fake tweets to that effect were doing the rounds and that legal action would be taken against those behind it.
