Rahul Gandhi slams Bihar govt over police crackdown on protesters

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has slammed the NDA government in Bihar after police baton-charged protesters in Patna.

However, it was not clear whether he was referring to the reported baton charge of workers protesting the state government’s move to suspend 16 land surveyors on strike for the past two weeks or the one against aspirants staging a sit-in demanding the release of



supplementary results of a Teacher Recruitment Exam.

Gandhi on Wednesday said that this time the youth of the state will show the government its real place, and the countdown has begun.

Sharing a video of police baton-charging protesters, Gandhi said in a post in Hindi on X, “When employment is asked for, one gets lathicharge. Instead of rights, one gets atrocities.”
