Prashant Kishor Begins Hunger Strike Over Alleged BPSC Exam Corruption

The Jan Suraaj chief demands cancellation of the exam, citing paper leaks and irregularities, while criticizing Bihar's leadership for inaction.

Prashant Kishor has started an indefinite hunger strike at Gandhi Maidan in Patna, supporting students protesting alleged corruption in the BPSC exams held on December 13, 2024.
Kishor is demanding the cancellation of the exam, a re-examination, and action against officials accused of corruption, including claims of exam posts being sold.
The protests began after allegations of paper leaks, delayed question paper distribution, and torn answer sheets surfaced, raising concerns about the exam's integrity.
Bihar authorities have denied the allegations and stated there is no basis to cancel the entire exam, except for disruptions at one exam center.
Kishor has criticized Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for ignoring the students' concerns and accused the government of prioritizing power over accountability.
