Patna, July 15: A question in the Bihar Civil Service examination surprised candidates and they were asked to answer if the role of governor in the state, was that of a “puppet”. The question read, “Critically examine the role of Governor in the state politics in India, Particularly in Bihar. Is he a mere puppet?” The question was in the General Knowledge paper of the main examination.

After the controversy, the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) immediately clarified. The commission said that its members had no role in the setting of questions. The officials blamed the teacher who set. According to reports, they, however, found nothing wrong in the question except the word “puppet” or “kathputli”.
