Former Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party convener Arvind Kejriwal said that the business of leaking exam papers is extensive and involves powerful individuals [1].
This statement comes amid growing public anger over recruitment irregularities. The issue has sparked protests and demands for high-level accountability within the Indian education system, specifically targeting the resignation of the central education minister [1].
Kejriwal addressed the situation in Delhi, emphasizing that systemic change is impossible without collective action. He said that the scale of the fraud is significant and that the current system will not change unless people unite to raise their voices [1].
His comments coincided with activities by the Cockroach Janata Party, a group protesting against irregularities in examination and recruitment processes [1]. The group has specifically called for the resignation of the central education minister to address these failures [1].
While Kejriwal highlighted the need for systemic reform, other reports indicate the scale of these protests varies by region. In Jaipur, a demonstration organized by the Cockroach Janata Party was limited to 800 people [2].
Kejriwal said, "The business of paper leaks is very big and very big people are involved in it. Until you all raise your voice together, this system is not going to change and nothing is going to happen" [1].
“The business of paper leaks is very big and very big people are involved in it.”
The involvement of a high-profile political figure like Arvind Kejriwal in the paper-leak discourse signals that exam fraud has shifted from a localized administrative failure to a major national political liability. By framing the issue as a 'business' involving 'big people,' Kejriwal is positioning the problem as systemic corruption rather than simple clerical error, increasing pressure on the central government to implement transparent recruitment reforms.
