Graduate MLA of Odisha appears in HSC Exam

In an interesting development, the MLA from Laxmipur Constituency (ST) in Odisha’s Koraput district has appeared in the ongoing High School Certificate (HSC) examination.

35-year old Kailash Chandra Kulesika has been appearing for matriculation exam under correspondence course at Rayagarh Girls High School. He attended Mathematics paper on Monday.

Ironically, the tribal leader had filed the nomination paper in 2014 general election mentioning his educational qualification as a graduate.

However, his appearance in the ongoing HSC exam certainly invites many doubts on his integrity during filing his nomination paper.

Kulesika contested the 2014 general election as a Congress candidate and defeated ruling BJD leader and wife of former Chief Minister of the state Hema Gomango with comfortable margin.
