What are the demands of  the students?

The BPSC students are firm in their demand to cancel the integrated 70th combined preliminary competitive examination and conduct it afresh. They are also calling for a thorough investigation into the entire process, from the preparation of the question paper to the examination. The students have demanded that an SOP be created for competitive examinations to prevent unnecessary difficulties. They also requested that their names be removed from the FIR lodged against unknown individuals.

Politics intensifies

Politics has also heated intensified over the lathi charge on protesting students in Bihar. The Congress condemned the brutal use of water cannons and lathis by police against unemployed youth demanding justice over the BPSC exam. AAP leader Sanjay Singh criticised the government’s autocratic approach. He urged dialogue and constitutional solutions, while calling out Nitish Kumar’s actions.
