The Punjab Public Service Commission (PPSC) has very correctly recommended to the State Government for making Civil Services Aptitude Test (CSAT) as only the qualifying examination for the Punjab Civil Services Examination, rather than keeping it on the statutes as a competitive exam.
I wonder why Punjab Chief Minister, Capt. Amarinder Singh has adopted an obstinate and irrational attitude towards the most genuine demand of the career conscious youth of rural Punjab, who wishes to pursue their career by qualifying the Punjab Civil Services Exam.
It is furthermore relevant to mention here that even the UPSC and several other States including Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh and Haryana has changed CSAT in to a qualifying exam, then what hassles the Punjab Government for not amending the relevant statutes to facilitate the aspirations of the rural youth of Punjab.
It appears quite intriguing that more than 1500 students have asked Capt. Amarinder Singh on his much-publicized engagement on his Facebook page ‘Ask the Captain’ on every Saturday at 7.00 PM, this pertinent question to make CSAT as only the qualifying examination for the Punjab Civil Services Examination rather than keeping it on the statutes of the PPSC as competitive exam.
But Capt. Amarinder Singh has preferred to look other way around rather than answering the specific question of the most worried youth. I wonder why such an apathy of the CM, towards the career conscious youth of the State of Punjab?
‘Ask the Captain’ question answer session on his Facebook page, Leaving aside first four or five episodes, the agenda more or less has become an adaptation for self-advertising, which serves no public purpose. Capt. Amarinder Singh should know that people of Punjab are not interested in theatrical gimmicks of ‘Saragarhi Farm’.
People are not interested to watch a promotional tailor-made façade, scripted by his media team; they rather want genuine responses to their irresistible and intense worries. People are fed-up with experiencing the bare emptiness of his false promises for almost three years; the hopeless situation has eventually caused a huge deficit of trust to his credibility in not keeping his solemn word of uprightness, which is certainly not a happy situation in a democracy.
