Jan 03, 2025

Patna (Bihar), Jan 03 (ANI): Prashant Kishor, the founder of Jan Suraj, is currently on a hunger strike at Gandhi Maidan, demanding the cancellation of the BPSC's 70th preliminary exam. In an interview with ANI, Prashant Kishor stated that the protest would persist and criticized Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. He accused Nitish Kumar of prioritizing his desire to remain in power over the welfare of the people of the state.“This protest will continue. I have been working in Bihar for the last two and a half years, if I don't do politics, what will I do? If you beat someone, and I am sitting here in support of them - and then you call it politics, then I am doing the politics. Nitish Kumar doesn't want to work, he wants to be in power only and that's the reason he didn't help the people of Bihar during Covid times. He is not worried about other things but just about being in power’, said Prashant Kishor. The protesting students in Patna are demanding the cancellation of the Integrated Combined (Preliminary) Competitive Examination (CCE) 2024 conducted by the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) on December 13.
