“We are demanding all three examinations be cancalled so every candidate will get the fair chance and meritorious students get the job.
“When Tejashwi Yadav was opposition leader, he was raising the points of job seekers and promised stipends to unemployed persons.After coming into power, he is silent now,” he alleged.
The agitators started the march from Patna college and reached Dak Bungalow Chowk via Bhikana Pahadi and Malahi Pakri locality.At Dak Bungalow Chowk, a large number of police personnel deployed there warned them to stop the march.

JD-U national President Lalan Singh said: “I don’t know where the lathi-charge happened but I must say that this is not the first time that a lathi-charge happened in the country.If there is any challenge to the law and order, the law will take its own course to bring normalcy.”
“Every person has a right to protest but it should be in democratic manner.No one would allow breaching the law,” he said.
