The student protest in Jharkhand has entered Day 13 and as protestors continue their hunger strike, they have called for the resignation of Hemant Soren.
Students in Jharkhand have called for the resignation of Chief Minister Hemant Soren amid ongoing protests over irregularities in the JPSC and JSSC CGL recruitment tests. The students met with Governor Santosh Kumar Gangwar to discuss the matter, with the governor expressing concern over the alleged irregularities. Soren assured the governor that the state government is committed to ensuring justice and investigating the case.
However, protesting student Rahul Kranti claimed the government has been unresponsive to their demands. Students have also decided to send their own delegation for talks with the government after the state government officials reached out for dialogue. Protesting students plan to carry out a gherao of the state assembly on August 10 and have already started a hunger strike, with many expressing health concerns.
