Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Friday offered talks with students protesting against alleged irregularities in recruitment exams, announcing major reforms. The protests, led by thousands, include a hunger striker who said, 'They are snatching our rights and selling our jobs like vegetables.' Congress leader Rahul Gandhi backed the agitators, saying every government must listen to students. His 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' programme in Prayagraj received police permission. Mathrubhumi reports that the stir has intensified over exam paper leak allegations.
