The Story in Brief
Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Tuesday called the BJP a 'parasite' during his speech in the Assembly, as the monsoon session was adjourned sine die a day early. Soren accused the Opposition of using students as a shield to demonstrate strength, adding that whatever little substance remained in the Opposition would disappear.
The remark came amid a row over police action on student protesters demanding a probe into irregularities in JPSC and JSSC exams. The BJP called a bandh, with workers burning tyres and blocking roads. ABVP members were detained during a march. Congress alleged that BJP Yuva Morcha members were being brought from West Bengal in trucks to swell the protests.
The Indian Opinion
Both sides are playing politics with students' genuine grievances. Soren's 'parasite' jibe may fire up his base, but it won't fix exam scams. The BJP's bandh and allegations against Rahul Gandhi deflect from the fact that the protests began over real irregularities. The real test is whether the government will form an independent probe commission with a clear deadline, not just trade insults in the House.
