Mistakes are still visible in the Manipur Public Service Commission (MPSC)'s results

Imphal, Feb,7 : Mistakes are still visible in the Manipur Public Service Commission (MPSC)'s results of the 11 petitioners, even after their answer scripts were rechecked and declared by an Expert Committee for the second time.

According to highly reliable sources, an Expert Committee of the MPSC was constituted to look into the disputed four Answers to the Question numbers 26, 151, 184 and 189 of Booklet Series "A", in pursuance of the order of the Gauhati High Court issued on January 5 last.

Taking into consideration the findings of the Expert Committee, the results of the 11 petitioners was declared by the MPSC, signed by its Secretary Norbert Disinang.

The source further revealed that according to the results declared by the MPSC, only one petitioner namely Homeshwar Nameirakpam (Roll no 06061) was declared as passed and admitted to the Manipur Civil Service Combined Competitive (MCSCC), Main Examination and the rest were found not to have qualified.

Among the 10 petitioners who did not qualify, one K Victor Singh whose actual roll number was 10958 was published as 01695 and his category OBC (Meetei) has been wrongly entered as Unreserved (UR).

It may be mentioned that the 11 petitioners have filed a case in the Gauhati High Court, Imphal Bench to re conduct the MCSCC Preliminary Examination since there were many errors in the examination held.

Accordingly, Gauhati High Court ordered the MPSC to constitute an Expert Committee to look into the disputed four Answers to the Question numbers 26, 151, 184 and 189 of Booklet Series "A" and give their due marks in case the petitioners’ answers were found correct and make them qualify to sit for the main exam if they obtain the cut off marks.

Sonia Gandhi Has Rigged M-MRCA Deal for Rafale :Subramaniam Swami

WEDNESDAY, MAY 11, 2011

If the Indian M-MRCA fighter competition wasn't quite surreal enough, in comes an Indian politician-economist, notably re-energized by his current association with India's "anti-corruption" movement and India's monumental telecom scam investigation, to stir the pot some more. A known fire-bomber with an unabashed antipathy to India's ruling Congress party, Subramanian Swamy has now apparently trained his ire at the IAF's $12-billion M-MRCA fighter deal. 

Swamy, officially leader of the Janata Party, but best known for years as a voluble and dogged government baiter on all matters graft, says he has written to Indian Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh making some very dramatic allegations. The letter (full text in image above) was written on April 29, two days after the dramatic M-MRCA elimination. Like all his letters, this one says that it draws on "inside information" from within the government. Let's get to the contents:

Swamy writes: "My sources indicate that the pre-determined decision to favour the French aircraft [Dassault's Rafale] was the outcome of several conversations between the wife of French President Ms. Carla Bruni and the Chairperson of the National Advisory Council Ms. Sonia Gandhi, and surprisingly also with two foreign nationals who are the sisters of Ms. Sonia Gandhi." 

It is not clear what information Swamy has based his allegations on. 

At the very least, it should be said that Subramanian Swamy was once quite aptly described by a leading news weekly as "the Professor Moriarty to Sonia's Sherlock Holmes", so there shouldn't be any real surprise that the target of his letter is specifically the Congress Party president. That said, the allegations he makes are indubitably explosive. Swamy's letter refers to "credible information" in his possession, but says nothing about what this credible information is. It is not clear if he has shared any further information with the Prime Minister apart from this letter.

The operative part of his letter goes: "Based on some credible information given to me on the conversation between Ms. Carla Bruni and Ms Sonia Gandhi’s sisters, there has been an agreement of the French to pay a hefty bribe for favouring the purchase of French aircrafts." 

Interestingly, a popular Indian military commentator has made a slightly backhanded allusion to pretty much the same thing today. In this column published in today's Pioneer, Maj Gen (Retd) Ashok Mehta writes, "The IAF favours the Rafale not the least because the French are promising the moon. There is also a high level back channel Italian connection, they say." So either the columnist has read Subramanian Swamy's letter, or has his own "insiders", in which case, as you've no doubt guessed, we have two prominent Indian figures 

saying that the Rafale has already been chosen to win the M-MRCA competition, and that it took a high-level government connection -- Swamy names Sonia Gandhi, the Maj Gen her nationality -- to work it through. 

It should be reiterated that neither of these controversial assertions has been backed in substance -- at least as far as I know -- in either the letter or the column. We'll have to see where this goes.

Re-revised Result of 4th PT fails to satisfy JPSC aspirants

Ranchi: Feb, 6: Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) who had published the re-revised result for 4th Combined Civil Service few days back to tame the controversy but their efforts failed in making the aspirants satisfied.

As per the latest revised result, total number of candidates qualified for mains exam has gone up from 3,285 to 3513 nevertheless the cut-off, instead of coming down is going up as per result the number of total candidates passed has exceeds the number by 50% what notification of the examination is saying that only 10% students will be given chance for mains.

Other than this 80 students who were declared pass in second revised result was failed this time while 239 new faces came in the list.

In its first result only 2,194 candidates were declared successful. When the total number of candidates gone up after revision, the cut-off must have come lower but it is not the case however latest cutoff is fractionally down. The similar trend is continuing for all the categories what the student believes.

“This is the major discrepancy in the result released afresh despite of four consecutive revisions 50-60 answers of various subjects have been wrong and JPSC didn’t came out with correct answer key as they have done in past"

 As many as 20 answers of sociology,4 in Geography,2 in GS,4-6 IN Public administration have been found wrong despite the revision done on similar grounds. We will bring all these facts before the Ranchi High Court bench hearing the matter,” said another candidate.

The Jharkhand High Court is hearing the matter and has scheduled to consider the plea in coming week.
