All Mahagathbandhan (grand alliance) parties have announced their support for a Bihar Bandh’ on January 28, called by a clutch of student organisations against alleged “irregularities” in the Railway Recruitment Board’s examination process.
Several students’ organisations, including the All India Students Association (AISA), called for the state-wide bandh on Friday to protest against the alleged irregularities in the Railway Recruitment Board’s Non-Technical Popular Categories (RRB-NTPC) exam 2021.
The protests started in the state after several students claimed that there were discrepancies in the RRB recruitment process. The government’s decision to conduct two computer-based tests (CBT) for the RRB Non-Technical Popular Categories (NTPC) had irked thousands of students across the state who wanted a single test.
