Protest in Patna: Tejashwi Yadav and RJD Workers Detained Over Student Concerns
The protest followed outrage over a July 25 student clash in Siwan, where police said no one was injured and later suspended a constable.
- On Wednesday, Patna police detained Leader of the Opposition Tejashwi Yadav and Rashtriya Janata Dal MP Misa Bharti during a protest march to Lok Bhavan demanding unemployment relief and exam transparency.
- The march followed violent student protests in Siwan last month involving alleged AK-47 firing, which led authorities to suspend Constable Abhishek Kumar and prompted the government to transfer 17 IPS officers.
- Demonstrators demanded the government fill 32,000 teacher vacancies under TRE-4. "The government is pushing the future of students into darkness. Exam papers are getting leaked frequently," Yadav said while being detained.
- BJP state president Sanjay Saraogi dismissed the protest as "part-time politics" aimed at "saving the career" of Yadav. The Bihar government defended police action, arguing student concerns have been addressed.
- To address systemic concerns, the National Testing Agency is restructuring by replacing around 600 experts and introducing a four-level question-paper review system to prevent future leaks.
