For the past few days, there have been claims circulating that the daughter of Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla got selected for a government job without clearing the UPSC exam.
Later, these claims were found to be false.
Claims made on social media
On social media, a user shared photographs of Anjali Birla, daughter of Om Birla, and wrote, “India is the only country where you can clear UPSC without sitting for the examination. But for that, you have to be born as a daughter of Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla. Anjali Birla, daughter of Om Birla, cleared UPSC without giving any examination, she is a model by profession. Modi Govt is making a mockery of our Education System.”
Similar claims were made on several other social media.
