BPSC Aspirants Demand Cancellation of Exam
Speaking to students at Gardanibagh in Patna, Kishor condemned the 'lathicharge' on the students and called upon the NDA-led government to take immediate action on two points. The government should meet student representatives and consider their demand for a re-examination. On Thursday, a student committed suicide, which is unfortunate. The youth demanded, the government should announce a compensation of Rs 10,00,000 for the family of the deceased without delay. BPSC aspirants had gathered outside the Commission's office in Patna, demanding cancellation of the exam. The protests, which began on December 13, were triggered by allegations of irregularities during the exam conducted by the BPSC.
Candidates have claimed that the question paper was leaked and there was a delay in distributing the question paper. Several candidates also reported that they received the question paper almost an hour late, while others claimed that the answer sheets were torn, raising suspicion of a possible leak.
