NEW DELHI: Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor on Thursday announced that he was beginning a fast unto death demanding cancellation of the recently held Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) exam.
“My demands include cancellation of the exam and holding of fresh tests. I also seek action against corrupt officials who had allegedly put posts, to be filled by the exams, on sale,” Kishor said.
He made the announcement at the historic Gandhi Maidan, a couple of kilometres from the spot where students have been protesting for nearly two weeks.
The candidates have alleged irregularities in the 70th BPSC Preliminary Examination held on December 13.
Kishor had earlier issued a 48-hour ultimatum to the Bihar government, asking it to cancel the exam.
