Ranchi, Jharkhand, August 2 (ANI): The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has extended its support to students protesting in Jharkhand over alleged irregularities in JPSC, JSSC CGL, and other competitive examinations.
As students in Ranchi continued their protest, CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke said in a post on X, “Spoke to the students who are protesting in Jharkhand over irregularities in JPSC and JSSC recruitment exams. The CJP stands with all the students in Jharkhand and supports their demands.”
The protesters have demanded that the Hemant Soren government ensure transparency in the examination process while urging the government to hold talks with them and address their concerns.
“Jharkhand is a land where students are protesting peacefully. You may have witnessed the nature of protests in other parts of the country, but the soil of Jharkhand is different. Here, the only appeal being made to the government is to listen to the students. Engaging in dialogue is a sign of a healthy democracy, and therefore, we humbly request the government to come forward and hold discussions with us. Whether it is related to the JPSC, JSSC, or the blacklisted company TDL, all examinations conducted in the past must be canceled immediately. Furthermore, accountability must be established for any irregularities that occurred during those periods. There must be transparency throughout the system,” a protester told ANI.
The aspirants also held a torchlight march.
BJP state General Secretary Amar Kumar Bauri criticized the Jharkhand government over the alleged irregularities in competitive examinations and demanded that Chief Minister Hemant Soren resign, taking moral responsibility for the issue.
Speaking to ANI, Bauri alleged that since the Hemant Soren-led government came to power, competitive examinations have been plagued by solver gangs and paper leak incidents.
“We have repeatedly alleged that jobs are being sold. Following the recent events concerning the JPSC, students have finally lost their patience and taken to the streets,” Bauri said.
He alleged that students have been protesting for eight days, but the state government has failed to respond to their demands.
Bauri also claimed that Congress and RJD leaders have not issued any statements on the matter, accusing them of “blatant double standards.”
Drawing a parallel with recent protests at Jantar Mantar, Bauri said national-level issues such as NEET received attention, while student protests over the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) were being ignored.
Bauri demanded a CBI investigation into the alleged irregularities and called on Chief Minister Hemant Soren to accept moral responsibility and resign. (ANI)
