Ranchi: On Saturday, the Jharkhand government announced new discussions with student groups protesting against irregularities in recruitment examinations, marking the 15th day of the ongoing demonstrations. In a series of meetings spanning four rounds, the Hemant Soren administration engaged with various student factions, including the Congress student wing NSUI, Jharkhand Chhatra Manch, and Adivasi Chhatra Sangh.
However, the fifth round of talks did not resolve the impasse, prompting the government to propose a sixth session on Sunday. The JPSC-JSSC Reforms Manch, leading the protests, accused the government of political tactics, alleging a ploy to fracture student unity and shift focus from the core issues. Leader Ravindra Paswan alleged the government aimed to divide students and divert attention from their demands, yet Paswan maintained that all students were united.
Despite the talks, students persist in their demands and have planned a march to the Assembly on August 10 if their grievances remain unaddressed by Sunday.
