The ongoing protests related to the BPSC 70th Re-examination have sparked significant tensions in the Gardanibagh area of Patna. Police presence has increased, with all gates being locked and water cannon machines deployed. Teachers and student leaders have gathered to voice their concerns about the examination’s integrity, while various public figures have expressed solidarity. One such figure is Brijwasi, an MLC from Muzaffarpur, who has come forward to support the agitating students. Here’s a detailed look into the developments surrounding the BPSC 70th Re-exam.
The BPSC Exam Crisis: A Growing Issue
The controversy around the BPSC 70th Re-exam has reached a boiling point. Students have been protesting due to several issues during the examination process. Brijwasi, who is a former teacher leader and now an MLC, spoke out about the irregularities in the examination. He criticized the authorities for not providing enough question booklets to the students, citing that 288 students were assigned to a room meant for only 192 candidates. Moreover, there was confusion over the distribution of question booklets, with many students left questioning where the missing booklets went.
Allegations of Unfair Practices
Students have also raised concerns about discrepancies during the examination process. According to Brijwasi, there were multiple instances where students had to face disruptions. He highlighted a case where students were allegedly noticed by the police for no apparent reason, and he questioned the legitimacy of such actions.
Brijwasi firmly believed that the examination had been marred by several missteps, which led to unrest among the students. His comments pointed to the lack of proper planning and transparency in conducting the exam, which has left many students disillusioned.
A Call for Justice and Negotiation
The MLC, who has been in politics for a long time, emphasized the importance of dialogue between the students and the authorities. He argued that the students, who are the future of Bihar, deserve empathy and respect. Brijwasi was clear in stating that the government must address the grievances of the students and ensure that their voices are heard. He mentioned that it was crucial for the authorities to sit down with the students and hear their concerns before making any decisions.
The “Tsunami” Warning
In a strong statement, Brijwasi warned that if the students’ demands were not addressed, it could lead to a “tsunami” in Bihar. He argued that the students were not just ordinary candidates but talented individuals from impoverished backgrounds who were trying to make a mark through the BPSC exams. He pointed out that if the system continues to ignore the needs of these students, it will only push Bihar’s talented youth to leave the state in search of better opportunities, which would further fuel the brain drain.
Allegations of Paper Leak and Delays
Brijwasi also questioned the credibility of the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) due to recurring allegations of paper leaks. He pointed out that similar controversies have plagued the commission in the past, citing instances like the recent paper leak in Jharkhand and the examination delays caused by the unavailability of trains for candidates. He even went as far as to suggest that BPSC be renamed to the “Bihar Paper Leak Commission” due to its continuous controversies.
Students’ Plea for Fairness
Amid the protests, students have been making their demands clear, seeking a fair re-examination. Many students have reported health issues and even some incidents of physical altercations, which further added to the distress. The atmosphere at the protest site is tense, with police force being deployed to control the situation.
Conclusion: What Lies Ahead?
The BPSC 70th Re-exam controversy is far from over, and the situation remains volatile. The students are determined to fight for justice, while political figures like Brijwasi are standing in support of their cause. The government now faces the challenge of addressing the growing discontent among the students and finding a resolution that restores faith in the examination system.
As Brijwasi warned, if the concerns of these students are not addressed, Bihar may witness a political and social upheaval—a “tsunami” of unrest. The coming days will be crucial in determining whether the government will engage with the students in a meaningful way or whether this issue will escalate further.
Stay tuned as we continue to cover the developments in this ongoing crisis.
