RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav organized a march to the Raj Bhavan in Patna today, demanding action against recent exam paper leaks.
Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Tejashwi Yadav announced a protest march to the Governor's residence in Patna, the Raj Bhavan, in response to a series of recent examination paper leaks in Bihar. The rally, scheduled for today, aims to draw attention to alleged irregularities that have sparked widespread concern among students and educators.
Yadav led a contingent of party workers, student representatives and local supporters along a pre‑planned route that culminates at the Raj Bhavan gates. Participants carried placards demanding a swift, transparent investigation and strict punitive measures against those responsible for compromising the integrity of state examinations.
The march underscores the political pressure being applied on the state administration to safeguard the fairness of academic assessments. While officials have not yet issued a formal response, the presence of the RJD leader at the governor's official residence signals a heightened demand for accountability.
The protest is part of a broader effort by opposition parties in Bihar to highlight governance lapses ahead of upcoming electoral contests, though the immediate focus remains on securing concrete action on the paper‑leak issue.
