After the UPSC aspirants staged a protest outside Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi's residence for demanding new UPSC exam pattern, Rahul Gandhi agreeing with the protestors said that the pattern of the UPSC civil services exam is wrong and he will take up the issue.
DOP&T headed by PM had approved the new pattern.Rahul Gandhi is the boss now.
I served as Joint Secretary in UPSC and am familiar with ts functioning.
it is learnt from a source claiming anonymity that the situation is not hunky dory.
The Commission is vertically divided against itself.There has been a face-off between groups of former bureaucrats and academicians, both now now Members of UPSC.
Changes made by UPSC effective from 2013 Civil Services(Main) exam had excluded foreign languages from its course.The aspirants alleged that they were left with little time to prepare and also the changes are discriminatory against students from the rural background.The charge is not without a basis.
Charges of arrogance,arbitrariness,extravagance and nepotism are flying thick and fast against the top echelons.The CBI is reportedly aware about this.
The situation could reach the flash point any time.
This is the wake-up call for our good-for-nothing PM.It is due to his and MOS (DOP&T)'S non-application of minds that the IAS aspirants were forced to approach the political class for redressal of their grievances.
