Rahul Gandhi announced that the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) protest has been upgraded to a satyagraha and introduced an online portal to register the movement.
New Delhi – In a televised address, senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi declared that the ongoing agitation against the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) would now be conducted as a satyagraha. He emphasized that the shift to a non‑violent civil disobedience model aims to pressure the state government to address the concerns of aspirants awaiting recruitment results.
Gandhi unveiled a dedicated digital platform where participants can formally register their involvement in the satyagraha. The portal is intended to document the scale of the movement, facilitate coordination among protestors, and provide a transparent record for authorities.
The Congress spokesperson outlined the core demand: immediate release of the pending MPSC merit lists and a transparent, merit‑based selection process for all vacant posts. No further details on timelines or additional actions were provided.
Political analysts note that the move seeks to broaden the protest’s reach beyond Maharashtra, leveraging online tools to mobilise supporters nationwide while maintaining a peaceful stance.
