Congress Extends Support To Agitating Students In UP & Bihar
The Congress on Thursday extended its support to the agitating students in UP and Bihar who are up against the RRB recruitment process.
Congress leader Supriya Shrinate said, “we extend our support to any peaceful protest but not in a violent way, as it’s Gandhi’s country where there is no place for violence.”
She said, government has been betraying job seekers and not able to provide jobs despite repeated assurances.
The agitators said that, there was only one examination in the earlier notification in 2019, now RRB has issued a fresh notification as well and given a provision of two examinations.
Also, it is alleged that, officials are involved in irregularities.
Students alleged, candidates having 50 marks being passed in the examination while many candidates having 80 to 85 marks have failed.
