  "account": "The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) intensified its criticism of students protesting against the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) by labeling their demonstration as \"nightlife\" and accusing protesters and Youth Congress officials of engaging in hooliganism, alcohol consumption, and inappropriate behavior. At a press conference in Mumbai, BJP spokesperson Navnath Ban displayed a video, alleging misconduct during the protest on October 3 night. Ban singled out state Youth Congress president Shivraj More and several Congress workers, questioning More's whereabouts after leaving the protest area and accusing him of leaving \"nightlife\" unmonitored. Concerns were also raised about a woman allegedly subjected to inappropriate behavior during the protest, though she denied the allegations, stating that Shivraj More had come to her aid. More, in turn, denied the allegations and threatened to file a defamation suit against Ban.",
