Hyderabad: Telangana IT and Industries Minister KT Rama Rao said that TSPSC Group – I re-exams will be held as soon as possible.

In his address at BRK Bhavan he asserted that the scam was perpetrated by only two individuals and ruled out the failure of the Commission. Because of two persons, the reputation of the entire system was eroded. The candidates who would have to take the tests for Group I Prelims, AE, AEE and DAO posts again, need not pay any fee. Apart from this, the State Government will set up round-the-clock study rooms, provide free study material online and lunch to the job aspirants, he added.

At a time when the TSPSC is facing allegations, we have the responsibility to instill confidence among the job aspirants. You all know that the Telangana movement was founded on the demands of water, funds and jobs.BJP State unit president Bandi Sanjay Kumar had blamed the (State) government for issuing notifications. The prime accused Atla Rajashekhar Reddy, who campaigned for the BJP, is behind this. I request the DGP to look into this, he said.

Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao convened a high level meeting at Pragathi Bhavan with Ministers and officials, including TSPSC Chairman B Janardhan Reddy and Chief Secretary Santhi Kumari, on the question papers leak.
