Members of the Rashtriya Janata Dal staged a march in Patna, demanding a probe into alleged examination paper leaks and highlighting the rising unemployment among Bihar’s youth.
Several RJD supporters gathered in Patna on Saturday, forming a procession that moved through the city’s central avenues to voice dissent over recent examination paper leaks. The march, organized by the party’s state unit, culminated at the Bihar Secretariat where participants unfurled banners demanding a swift investigation.
The demonstrators also raised concerns about the growing unemployment crisis among the state’s young population, urging the government to launch immediate skill‑development programmes and expand job opportunities. RJD leaders asserted that the paper leak scandal and job scarcity are symptomatic of administrative neglect.
Party officials reiterated that the integrity of the education system and the economic prospects of Bihar’s youth are non‑negotiable priorities. They called on the Chief Minister’s office to set up an independent inquiry panel and to announce concrete measures for youth employment.
State authorities have not yet issued an official response, but the protest adds pressure on the administration ahead of upcoming budget discussions that could address education reforms and job creation schemes.
The march reflects broader political tensions in Bihar, where opposition parties frequently mobilise public sentiment around governance and livelihood issues.
