Former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah sought the removal of Home Minister Araga Jnanendra in the wake of the Police Sub Inspector (PSI) recruitment exam scam in Karnataka.
In a tweet, Mr Siddarmaiah said Mr Araga Jnanendra has acknowledged the scam in the recruitment process for 545 PSIs and has cancelled the process. “On what moral grounds can he continue as Home Minister? He should immediately resign to facilitate an impartial investigation,” he tweeted.
Though he welcomed the government’s decision to annul the recruitment process, the former Chief Minister, in a tweet, sought to know if the decision to repeat the PSI examination was an attempt to ensure justice to honest candidates ‘or an attempt to save the big brains behind the scam’.
