Patna, Jan 13 (NationPress) The ongoing dispute regarding the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) examination has escalated to the state's highest constitutional authority, as Governor Arif Mohammad Khan pledged to deliver justice to a group of candidates who met with him on Monday.
Khan guaranteed fairness to the protesting candidates within the confines of the Constitution. This development followed a discussion between a twelve-member delegation of candidates and Jan Suraaj Party President Manoj Bharti with the Governor.
Subhash Kumar, one of the delegation members, presented the candidates' demands, emphasizing the irregularities in the BPSC examination process and the subsequent actions by the authorities.
The Governor attentively listened to the delegation for 45 minutes, noting their concerns regarding fairness, transparency, and the alleged mismanagement of the examination process.
“Governor Khan has patiently heard our demands and assured us that while adhering to constitutional boundaries, this matter will be conveyed to the relevant officials, and we hope for justice to be served in the future,” stated Subhash.
He assured the delegation that justice would be achieved within the framework of the Constitution, indicating a commitment to addressing the students' grievances in a lawful and equitable manner.
The Governor expressed concern for the health of Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor, who has been on a hunger strike for 12 days advocating for the BPSC candidates.
He urged the students to persuade Kishor to conclude his hunger strike, stressing that health should take precedence.
He advised the students to dissociate Kishor's hunger strike from their own demands, implying that merging the two could complicate the situation.
Kishor has been championing the rights of BPSC candidates, using his hunger strike as a means of protest.
His ongoing strike highlights the seriousness of the issue and has likely helped draw more attention to the candidates' demands.
The Governor's intervention brings hope for a resolution while underscoring the importance of constructive dialogue. His commitment to engage with officials enhances the students' position.
