RJD, Cong condemn police action
Patna: Leader of the opposition in Bihar assembly, Tejashwi Prasad Yadav , has condemned the lathicharge on teacher aspirants and TRE-3.0 candidates near the CM's residence in Patna on Tuesday."It has become the hobby of the state govt to brutally beat up, commit injustice and torture the youth who put forward their demands in a democratic way," Tejashwi wrote on his X handle."This useless govt patronises and protects criminals and corrupt people and lathicharges students, youth and unemployed people whenever it wants," he Congress president Rajesh Kumar also criticised the govt's response, saying the BJP-JD(U) coalition had once again shown its insensitivity to the future of Bihar's youth."Thousands of eligible candidates who wrote the BPSC TRE 3.0 went to meet the CM. But instead of giving justice, the govt got them brutally lathicharged. The male police force lathicharged the female candidates. This is shameful, inhuman and against democratic values," he said."This is not only an attack on students, but on the hopes and future of Bihar," Rajesh added, expressing support for the students' demand for the immediate release of BPSC TRE 3.0 supplementary exam to the candidates, the TRE 3.0 announced 87,774 teaching posts, but results were declared for only 66,000. They claim no explanation has been provided for the remaining 21,000 posts, and that several names appeared across three separate lists. "It is clear from this that a large number of posts are still vacant," the Congress chief alleged.
