Will undertake a hunger strike until death, Prashant Kishor demands the cancellation of the BPSC exam

Jan Suraj founder Prashant Kishor has announced an indefinite hunger strike, demanding the cancellation of the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) preliminary exam conducted last month. His demands include canceling the exam and conducting a new one. The protest stems from allegations of a question paper leak.

Prashant Kishor had earlier urged the Bihar government to cancel the exam. Following the lack of a favorable response, he announced the hunger strike. He criticized Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for not even being willing to meet the protesting students. Kishor accused the government of betraying the students.

Candidates have alleged irregularities in the BPSC preliminary exam conducted on December 13. For nearly two weeks, they have been protesting, demanding the cancellation of the exam. Amid this, Prashant Kishor extended his solidarity with the protesters. He is conducting his hunger strike at Gandhi Maidan in Patna.
