JMM's Moral Support to Student Movement: Allegations of Irregularities and Recruitment Scams

Former minister Mithilesh Thakur said that the students'movement lasted for 26 days and during this time the JMM gave full moral support to the movement. He said that since the formation of the state, there have been allegations of irregularities in the appointments. There were also reports of irregularities in the preliminary examinations of the JPSC. He alleged that there have been recruitment scams in the JPSC even under the BJP rule. Mithilesh Thakur said that this time Chief Minister Hemant Soren recommended a CID investigation giving priority to the demands of the students and decided to cancel the examinations conducted by the TDPL. But the BJP did not like this move of the government and started politics in the guise of the students'movement. He alleged that after the agitation ended, the BJP leaders worked to provoke the students. The confusion was created among the students by saying that the government did not send a lawyer to the High Court, while many senior advocates on behalf of the government had put their side in the court. He alleged that the government had given its verdict in favour of the innocent people and that they would be punished by the court.
