Jharkhand Protest Enters Day 14; Students Await Talks With Hemant Soren Govt
The agitation over alleged irregularities in the JPSC and JSSC recruitment exams has entered its 14th day in Jharkhand, with several students continuing their indefinite hunger strike in Ranchi. Protesters have submitted the names of their representatives for talks after the Ranchi SDM met them at the demonstration site. Amid mounting pressure, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi spoke to the students over the phone, while the BJP accused him of reacting only after the issue gained national attention. Attention is now focused on when the Hemant Soren government will open formal talks with the protesters.
