On August 24, 2026, Jharkhand Loktantrik Krantikari Morcha leader Devendra Nath Mahto inaugurated the JPSC-JSSC Recruitment System Reform Yatra in Ramgarh district. Mahto began his journey from Nemra village, the ancestral home of former Chief Minister Shibu Soren. Along the route, he carried a framed portrait of Shibu Soren, who is the father of current Chief Minister Hemant Soren.
The Yatra, organized under the JPSC-JSSC Aspirants Nyay Manch, aims to tackle systemic issues within the state government's recruitment examinations. Key demands include preventing question paper leaks and exam rigging, ensuring transparency and fairness in the JPSC and JSSC processes, and providing legal support for job aspirants.
Local villagers protested against Mahto's campaign, asserting that Shibu Soren was their traditional village head, known as 'Naike Pradhan'. They refused to allow any objection to the leader and also criticized Mahto for not informing them about the yatra in writing. The protesters, including many women and children, argued that while the yatra held emotional value, burning effigies of Soren in various districts was inappropriate.
