The BJP alleged a delayed result process and selection irregularities, including 24.2% of picks from one Patiala centre and unregistered candidates.

  • On Thursday, The BJP slammed the Aam Aadmi Party government over alleged irregularities in the Punjab PCS Mains, accusing officials of protecting a "paper leak mafia".
