'Remarks were directed at BJP, not at students': Priyank Kharge clarifies comment on police recruitment exams
Karnataka home minister Priyank Kharge clarified his remarks were aimed at the BJP's demand for his resignation, not at police recruitment exam aspirants.
Kharge had said he would resign only after aspirants go on a 25-day hunger strike and face lathicharges, referring to a past NEET paper leak incident.
The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) rejected allegations of errors in the exam, attributing confusion to false social media claims about OMR sheet serial numbers.
The exam on July 2, 2026, was for 1,453 Civil Police Constable posts in the Karnataka Police Department.
