The Hindu  

Taking exception to back-to-back bungling by the Karnataka Public Services Commission, which had twice given wrongly translated questions to Kannada-medium candidates in the KAS preliminary exams, Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly R. Ashok on Tuesday urged the government to issue a fresh notification for recommencing the examination process. Playing with future Raising the issue in the Assembly, Mr. Ashok alleged that the KPSC authorities were playing with the future of candidates as mistakes had crept into their question papers twice. But even when re-exams were conducting following widespread concern and criticism from all quarters, including Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, the KPSC failed to ensure a smooth process as the mistakes increased to 79,” Mr. Ashok said. ‘Rate card’ Describing the KPSC as a “den of corruption”, Mr. Ashok alleged that the KPSC had a “rate card” with different levels of bribes for different posts.
