BPSC aspirants hold protest outside Bihar CM's residence, police lathi-charge protesters
The BPSC Teacher Recruitment Exam 3.0 aspirants held a protest outside the official residence of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Tuesday. As the protesters entered the restricted area, the police lathi-charged them. Visuals from the scene showed police forcefully removing the women protesters from the area around the CM's house.
The visuals also showed police personnel baton-charging male protesters. Some allege that women protesters were also subjected to baton charging. The protesters are demanding a resolution regarding discrepancies in the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) TRE 3.0 exam results, in which candidates were concerned about vacant posts and issues with the declaration of results.
The protesters want the release of the supplementary results of the exam. 'Vacancies come again and again, but the seats remain vacant. If the government has the supplementary result, then why is it not being released,' a woman protester told ANI.
In March, the BPSC Teacher Recruitment Exam 3.0 aspirants protested for over 50 days in Patna. The issue at hand stems from the BPSC TRE 3.0 examination, for which 87,774 posts were advertised. However, only 66,000 results were declared, leaving 21,000 vacancies unexplained. Aspirants were particularly concerned after noticing that the published results included duplications, with one student appearing on three different lists.
At the time, Bihar Governor Arif Mohammad Khan met with a delegation of BPSC aspirants and heard their grievances, assuring them of issuing necessary instructions to relevant authorities. The matter also reached the Supreme Court; however, the court refused to interfere and dismissed the plea that raised allegations regarding the BPSC preliminary examination.

Defence minister Rajnath Singh (ANI) The defence minister led a mass yoga demonstrations on the occasion of International Day of Yoga at Northern Command headquarters, performing various asanas and breathing exercises with around 2,500 soldiers. In his address, he credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi for popularising yoga globally and highlighted that the practice provides a holistic approach to health & well-being. 'Yoga gives clarity to the people in chaos. It is an art, a science, a philosophy, and spirituality. Those who practice Yoga in their daily lives have control over their body and mind. It makes us proactive, not reactive,' he said. Describing Operation Sindoor as a shining example of that control, Rajnath Singh stated that Indian armed forces displayed restraint, balance and precision during the operation, which is a reflection of their inner strength attained by practising yoga. He stated that India's social and communal unity was targeted through the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor was a clear message to Pakistan that it will face the consequences for supporting terror activities against India. 'Operation Sindoor is the natural progression of the surgical strike of 2016 and the air strike of 2019. It was executed in such a way that Pakistan requested for a ceasefire, and only then have we put a pause to the operation. As I have said earlier, Operation Sindoor is not over yet. India is fully prepared to take all kinds of action against terrorism,' said Singh. He said when the nation is celebrating International Day of Yoga, it should remember the true meaning of the practice, which is to connect every section of society with the culture and soul of India. 'If even one section is left behind, the wheel of unity and security is broken. Therefore, today, we should perform yoga at the level of society and thought and not just body,' he said. He appreciated the inclination of the armed forces personnel towards yoga which has a direct impact on their discipline and focus. 'Yoga prepares a soldier physically and mentally and its benefits can be seen in the battlefield,' he said, encouraging the soldiers to continue practising it daily. Reiterating PM Modi's statement that 'Yoga is India's gift to the world', Singh said it is not just a diplomatic quote, but a vision. Through Yoga, India has given the world a tool which is beyond any border, religion, and culture, he said.
