Following a 24-day agitation, the Jharkhand government cancelled the JSSC-CGL exam and ordered a CID probe into recruitment irregularities since 2014. However, protesting students have refused to call off their demonstration, demanding an independent investigation by the CBI.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has urged Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren to meet students protesting over JPSC and JSSC recruitment exam irregularities. The intervention follows heavy police deployment, action against journalists, and the deteriorating health of hunger-striking leader Devendra Nath Mahato.
The Election Commission of India has directed BJP to take down a video posted on social media platforms targeting the JMM-led govt in Jharkhand amid the assembly elections.

On Wednesday, Champai Soren told reporters, "I had mentioned three options - retirement, organisation, or friend. I will not retire; I will strengthen the party, a new party, and if I meet a good friend on the way, then will move ahead with them."
Champai Soren wrote a long post on Twitter to mention chronological events that unfolded around his ouster which he has described as a ‘humiliating experience’ and a blow to his self-respect, forcing him to explore his future options.
