"The TS-BJP feels that, a judicial enquiry into the entire episode will unravel the truth and therefore you request you to examine the possibility of advising the Governor of Telangana to order for a judicial probe," it added.In a letter to the President, Laxman on behalf of Telangana BJP, said, "We also request you to instruct the Government of Telangana to initiate appropriate proceedings against the Secretary Board of Intermediate Education and the Minister of Education Government of Telangana for their insensitive and callous remarks which have accentuated the emotional trauma of the students and the parents. The intervention of Your Excellency, as the Constitutional Head of the Nation, will go a long way in receiving the faith of people in the systems.""...Subsequently, Intermediate results were announced on April 18, 2019. Over 8, 70, 924 students appeared for the examination for the examinations for both first and second year intermediate, of which 3, 28, 400 failed in the examinations... Students who secured more than 90 per cent marks in the first year intermediate, failed in the second year," Laxman claimed.The BJP has also alleged that Telangana Minister of Education tried to show it as a very "minor incident" stating that the entire problem erupted due to the "internal feuds" amongst the officials of the Intermediate Board.Over three lakh students reportedly failed in the intermediate exams conducted by the BIE in the state. This led to protests by students and their parents alleging large-scale discrepancies in the examination process.( With inputs from ANI )
