Bengaluru, Mar 07, 2024: BJP MP Tejasvi Surya on Wednesday hit out at the Siddaramaiah-led Karnataka government after it directed all schools in the state to ask students to bring their own answer sheets for exams.

Slamming the state government, the BJP MP said it was in a "complete mess".

 

Surya also said the Siddaramaiah government has "lost the dignity to continue in office".

"Congress Govt, which has pushed Karnataka into bankruptcy, is now forcing students to bring their own Answer Booklets for board exams. This govt is in complete mess, & has lost the dignity to continue in office." (sic) Tejaswi Surya wrote on X.

"Urge CM Shri Siddaramaiah to immediately borrow & release funds to education department, ensure answer booklets get printed."

"Lack of foresight and planning by the govt shouldn’t stress the student community," he tweeted.
In a fresh set of instructions, the Karnataka government directed all schools following the state syllabus to only provide question papers to students appearing for exams.

It directed all students to bring their own answer sheets.

Sources with the Education Department said the state government was not charging any fee from the students.

Meanwhile, the Karnataka High Court on Wednesday cancelled the notifications issued by the state government appointing the KSEAB (Karnataka School Examination & Assessment Board) as the competent authority to conduct the Summative Assessment-2 exams for students of Classes 5, 8, and 9 and the annual examination for class 11.

The order was applicable to students studying in government, aided and unaided schools and colleges, and following the Karnataka State Board Syllabus.

The examination was to commence from March 9.
