NEW DELHI: Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor on Thursday announced that he was starting a fast unto death demanding cancellation of the recently held Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) exam.
“My demands include cancellation of the exam and conduct of new tests. I also demand action against corrupt officials who allegedly put up posts for sale to be filled through the exams,” Kishor said.
He made the announcement at the historic Gandhi Maidan, a couple of kilometers from where students have been protesting for almost two weeks.
The candidates have alleged irregularities in the 70th BPSC Preliminary Exam celebrated on December 13.
Kishor had earlier issued a 48-hour ultimatum to the Bihar government, asking it to cancel the exam.
