Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Bikram Singh Majithia on Friday, 6 November 2026, drew a sharp parallel between the alleged irregularities in the Punjab Civil Services (PCS) Mains 2025 examination and the NEET 2026 controversy, calling on the Congress, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) to unite in opposition. The appeal came days after the Punjab Public Service Commission (PPSC) declared its Main Examination results on 4 November, triggering allegations of fraud, corruption, and lack of transparency from aggrieved candidates.

Majithia's Core Demand

Speaking to reporters, Majithia said: 'Today I will appeal to everyone — Congress, BJP, and CJP... if NEET was a rallying point at Jantar Mantar, this PCS recruitment should become a rallying point in Punjab.' He made clear that the demand was not to cast doubt on all successful candidates, but to ensure that deserving aspirants are not displaced by those with alleged connections or unfair advantage.

The SAD leader underscored the stakes involved, noting that PCS officers are expected to shape governance in Punjab for years to come. 'No one has the right to leave out deserving candidates and give important government posts to undeserving ones,' he said, adding that the positions in question 'are meant to shape the direction and condition of Punjab in the coming times.'

AAP Government in the Crosshairs

In an apparent reference to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal, Majithia said: 'People sitting in Delhi cannot engage in Punjab's recruitment process because it is a matter related to the state.' The remark signals a broader political critique of alleged central interference in Punjab's administrative affairs under the AAP dispensation.

Majithia also claimed that nine to ten recruitment examinations conducted under the AAP-led Punjab government have been either stayed by courts, subjected to vigilance enquiries, or cancelled outright due to paper leaks, cheating, or other irregularities — a pattern, he argued, that demands institutional scrutiny.

Human Cost of Alleged Irregularities

Majithia highlighted the personal struggles of candidates who raised objections, saying some were gold medalists while others had no parental support and had cleared the examination through years of hardship. 'How much struggle they might have gone through, how they showed courage, and now they are sharing that there was no transparency in this exam,' he said, lending a human dimension to what is otherwise a political and administrative dispute.

BJP Also Alleges 'Paper Leak Mafia'

The BJP had, on Thursday, independently alleged irregularities and corruption in the PPSC Main Examination, accusing the AAP government of running a 'paper leak mafia' under the directions of Arvind Kejriwal and Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. The convergence of SAD and BJP grievances — typically rival voices in Punjab — illustrates the political depth of the controversy.

CBI Enquiry and High Court Petition

Reiterating the demand raised by aggrieved candidates, Majithia called for a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) enquiry into the PCS examination results. 'If irregularities take place even in the recruitment of Gazetted officers, then it needs a CBI enquiry,' he said, adding that his party would 'soon approach the High Court.' The proposed legal route signals that the controversy is unlikely to be resolved through political dialogue alone, and that judicial intervention may become the decisive arena.
