Congress silent as Jharkhand student protests escalate
The Story in Brief
The Story in Brief
The Congress party is caught in a bind as Jharkhand students protest alleged irregularities in state recruitment exams (JPSC). The party has stayed quiet on the police crackdown, even as it has spent weeks attacking the Centre over NEET irregularities. The Bharatiya Janata Party has seized on the silence, questioning Rahul Gandhi's stand. Times Now reports the Congress has backed the Parliament protest but appears disconnected from the Jharkhand agitation, raising questions about political strategy.
The Indian Opinion
The Congress is happy to attack the Centre over NEET but goes mum when a state it ran for years faces a student agitation. Selective outrage weakens the opposition's credibility. Voters in Jharkhand will watch whether the party speaks up before the exam scam figure is released.
