This government is joking with the future of the children, the paper of UP board examinations of 24 districts including Varanasi and Gorakhpur has been leaked. For how long will the paper leak like this? If BJP government is tough on criminals then why copying mafia is roaming freely? Why is copying being done indiscriminately? Why is the future of innocent children being played with? Will the government take responsibility for the future of those innocent people?
