Today, On 7th January, The Supreme Court refused to entertain a plea related to the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) controversy, advising the petitioners to approach the Patna High Court. While acknowledging the sentiments involved, the apex court emphasized that the grievances should be addressed at the appropriate forum.
Jan Suraaj Party chief Prashant Kishor, leading the BPSC protest movement, was granted unconditional bail shortly after being sent to Beur Jail. Kishor’s statement, “No strength is greater than people’s strength,” resonated with supporters. The political strategist has been at the forefront of protests demanding accountability and reforms. His release marks a key moment in the ongoing agitation.
