Click to play videoChandigarh: The Haryana Civil Service Exam is under the scanner. Members of the State Public Service Commission are being accused of manipulating the evaluation process to make sure their children and those of top politicians make the cut.
Among those who made it to the final list are the HPSC chairman's daughter, chief minister Hooda's relative and people known to Congress MPs and MLAs.
Waqar Haider, a candidate said, "I was asked why all terrorists are muslims?"
He obviously had no answers and as results later indicated, got just ten marks out of 75 in the interview for the Haryana Public Services held by the State commission.
Haider failed to make the final cut despite by a few marks despite a good score in the written papers.
A strange pattern has emerged in these results announced on December 30 by the Haryana Public Service Commission.
Candidates were marked in clusters to keep them just short of the cut off marks of 406 for general category.
And some who had low scores in their written paper were awarded resonably high marks.
Vinod, another candidate, said, "In my category, I was the second highest scorer in the written examination. But I was given only ten marks, minimum marks, in the interview".
In this press conference just days beofore the final results were declared the opposition - Indian National Lok Dal created a flutter by releasing its own list of successful candidates including, among others, Vikas; nephew of the HPSC member PP Sharma.
Vikas who had just 359 marks the written papers got expceptionally high marks in the interview and made the cut.
Annu Shehkhand also figured in the list of candidates announced by the Lok Dal. She is the daughter of the then commission chief RD Shehkhand who interestingly retired just a day after the results were out.
Despite repeated attempts by CNN-IBN, Sheokhand has refused to comment. But now some candidates like Waqar and Vinod are now planning to move the high court.
In 2004, when the Lok Dal was in power Congress had made similar allegations and the HPSC results were annulled by the courts.
The wheel seems to have turned a full circle now.
