Jharkhand student recruitment protests

Entities: Rahul Gandhi · Pawan Khera · Jharkhand · Jairam Mahto · Annapurna Devi

Overview

Student protesters in Jharkhand have been conducting round-the-clock sit-ins to demand transparency and accountability following the announcement of the 14th JPSC Civil Services Preliminary Examination results. Aspirants allege irregularities in the recruitment process.

The protests have drawn political criticism from both sides. Congress MP Pawan Khera expressed support for the students, noting that party leader Rahul Gandhi planned to address them. Conversely, Union Minister Annapurna Devi accused the Congress party of double standards for not sufficiently addressing grievances in a state governed by their allies. Additionally, Jharkhand Loktantrik Krantikari Morcha (JLKM) MLA Jairam Mahto held a fast in support of the students and called for a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into alleged corruption involving public sector positions.
