BJP Calls It A Political Conspiracy
The BJP has called it a political conspiracy. BJP leader Sushil Modi said there are no students anywhere in the Bihar bandh. It has people from political parties. It is an appeal to the students not to be misled by anyone. He said "When we spoke to the Union Railway Minister yesterday, the Railway Minister assured us that there is no need for another exam. There will be just one exam. The Railway Minister has also formed a committee. There is no point in the protest now anymore.
He added, "It is an appeal to the railways and the Bihar government that the students who have come to the track are not criminals. There should not be any punitive action against them. Now there are no students in the protest. The common students who came on the street on the 24th and 25th are not there today. Right now there are people of student organizations of political parties. When the government is providing solutions to their problem then why is there a need for protest?"
