Ranchi, September 08, 2026: The BJP intensified its campaign over alleged irregularities in Jharkhand’s JPSC and JSSC-CGL recruitment examinations on Tuesday, with party workers staging a demonstration at the Ranchi Deputy Commissioner’s office and submitting a memorandum of demands.
The protest formed part of the BJP’s four-day statewide agitation over recruitment examination issues and cases registered against students who protested against the alleged irregularities.
Led by district and state BJP leaders, party workers surrounded the DC office and staged a sit-in outside the premises. A party delegation subsequently handed over a memorandum to the Deputy Commissioner.
BJP puts forward two key demands
The BJP has demanded that police cases registered against more than 300 students who protested over the examination controversy be withdrawn.
Its second major demand is that the investigation into the alleged paper leak and examination irregularities be handed over from the state police to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
Party leaders alleged that the ongoing state-level investigation could lack independence and argued that a central agency should examine the matter.
These allegations and demands reflect the BJP’s political position on the recruitment controversy and have not been established as facts in the supplied information.
Aditya Sahu targets government over recruitment process
State BJP president Aditya Sahu accused the government of compromising the interests of educated youth in Jharkhand.
He alleged that jobs meant for local candidates were being given to outsiders and raised questions about the selection process involving regional language papers, including Khortha and Nagpuri.
Sahu also alleged that students had raised their concerns peacefully but were nevertheless booked by police. He described the cases as an attempt to discourage students from raising their voices.
CP Singh warns of larger agitation
Ranchi MLA C.P. Singh said the current protest was only the beginning and warned that the BJP could intensify its statewide agitation if the cases against students were not withdrawn.
BJP leaders said the campaign would continue until their demands for action over the alleged examination irregularities and relief for students were addressed.
The government’s response to the BJP’s allegations and demands was not included in the supplied information.
