Bihar Governor assures action on BPSC exam cancellation; delegation to request Prashant Kishor to end fast

PATNA: Bihar Governor Arif Mohammad Khan finally intervened in Jan Suraaj Party founder Prashant Kishor's fast-unto-death, which entered its 12th day on Monday. Governor Khan met a delegation of BPSC candidates led by Jan Suraaj Party working president Manoj Bharti at Raj Bhavan and assured them to take appropriate action to end the stalemate over their demand for cancellation of the examination. The Governor clarified that the indefinite hunger strike launched by Kishor and the demand of the BPSC candidates were two separate things. On Sunday, Patna district administration stopped Jan Suraaj Party from constructing a tent city on a piece of private land close to the Marine drive in the state capital.
