# Akhilesh slams Centre for Jharkhand violence and NEET reply time limit 2026-08-10T17:52:52+00:00 | Politics | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday accused the Centre of being undemocratic for fixing a time limit on its parliamentary response to student protests over the NEET paper leak. He said such a constraint would produce only a hollow statement. Days earlier, he blamed the Modi government for the violent job protests in Jharkhand, where police used water cannons and lathi charges after demonstrators breached barricades near the assembly. Several protesters and four policemen were injured. Yadav also questioned the government over alleged theft of donations at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya and condemned the attack on former West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee's convoy. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - hindustantimes.com Tags: Akhilesh Yadav, Jharkhand protests, Mamata Banerjee, Parliament, Ram Mandir, unemployment Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/akhilesh-blames-modi-govt-for-unemployment-as-jharkhand-protest-turns-violent/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
