‘Hemant Soren children will not get jobs…’

Jharkhand BJP President Babulal Marandi questioned the Hemant government and said that the way the government is making the candidates run (physical test), it does not happen. Candidates should be informed 3 months in advance about when they have to run so that they can practice. When I got the admit cards, I saw that the candidates had to run within 15 days… Yesterday I talked to some children of the delegation of candidates… They said that 6000 children are made to run and stand in one center. They line up from 12 o’clock at night and their turn comes at 12 o’clock, so they cannot sleep… Hemant Soren is not giving jobs to the children but death.

BJP youth wing accuses officials

At the same time, in this entire matter, the BJP’s youth wing has alleged that the candidates died due to the mismanagement of the officials during the physical test. Regarding this, the BJP youth wing also protested against the Hemant Soren government at Albert Ekka Chowk in Ranchi.
