The Story in Brief
The Congress is caught in a bind over a student protest in Jharkhand against irregularities in state recruitment exams. The party has stayed largely silent on the agitation even as it has targeted the Centre for weeks over the NEET (UG) exam row. The BJP has seized on this, questioning Rahul Gandhi's silence and accusing the Congress of double standards.
The protest, led by students across Jharkhand, comes amid growing anger over paper leaks and appointment delays. The Congress, which rules the state in alliance with the JMM, has not backed the protesters publicly, leaving it open to attack from the Opposition.
The Indian Opinion
Both parties are playing the same game. Congress attacks the Centre over NEET but goes quiet when its own state government faces student anger over recruitment exam irregularities. The BJP smelt an opening and pounced, but it too ignored such protests in states it runs. The question is not who is more silent but whether either party actually cares about exam reform. Watch if Congress issues a statement on Jharkhand by the end of the week.
