Bihar's political landscape is heating up as Minister Neeraj Kumar Singh Bablu hit back at Tejashwi Yadav's critique concerning a recent lathi-charge on BPSC aspirants. Bablu reaffirmed the state government's dedication to student welfare, suggesting Yadav's comments were politically motivated attacks on the state government's progress under Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
The lathi-charge incident unfolded during a protest by aspirants demanding changes in the Bihar Public Service Commission's examination format. Bablu defended the police action as situational necessity while maintaining the government's student-centric interests. Meanwhile, popular educator Khan Sir, briefly detained during the protests, stressed a commitment to a peaceful, non-political campaign for reform.
Protesters, including Khan Sir, are calling for a simpler 'One Shift and One Paper' exam format, challenging BPSC's normalization policy. As tensions rise, Khan Sir emphasized the significance of constitutional protest, urging understanding from authorities and pledging to remain steadfast until demands are addressed. The issue remains a pivotal test for the state government amidst pending examinations.
