Are they prepared to conduct the exam? 3. why UPSC hs no mechanism to verify claims of disability and caste after 75 years of their existance? 4.

Let me bring you an issue, when bjp came into power and ruled for 10 years, it compromised each and every institution, statutory body. Even RBI is at stake, bjp is for riches,they don't even care for poor and needy, bjp always push back to pre independence when it comes to development. This is the only reason why adani and ambani is deciding fate of entire nation and why no new players is playing the level playing field when it comes to business and politics is not for doing good for people but solely for enjoying power and getting the things done and holding back amass of wealth. Show me one politician in my country who solely live his life with only the government way of funding him as a salary. why many of the youth crave for getting into upsc, if you ask me to answer, it is for the political bureaucratic nexus to get the things done and to amass wealth for both well being and not for nation and people well being. These days talent is only 50% remaing 50% is done with money. Don't know how much money her father spent for getting her the post in upsc.

So, depending on this scam you can't blame bjp only consider the opposition having an equal hand in it and I don't understand one small thing are you 2014 born when was ambani and adani poor.
