The Story in Brief
Former Jharkhand chief minister Raghubar Das on Wednesday threatened a hunger strike if the Hemant Soren-led state government does not recommend a CBI probe into alleged recruitment exam irregularities within a week. Das accused the JMM regime of massive recruitment scams over the past six years and of playing with the fate of lakhs of students.
Thousands of students under the 'JPSC-JSSC Reforms Manch' have been agitating for 19 days over the irregularities. Das also demanded Rs 1 crore compensation each for families of 19 people who died during physical tests for excise constable recruitment in 2024. He warned officials that their careers depend on the central government, not just the state administration.
The Indian Opinion
Both the ruling JMM and opposition BJP are using student deaths and exam irregularities as political sticks rather than fixing the system. Das demands a CBI probe he could have ordered when he was CM. Soren's government must show it values merit over patronage. The real test: will the state recommend a CBI probe within a week, or will it prove Das's charge of official involvement?
