Jharkhand’s student protests have become a growing political flashpoint, with the BJP and Congress trading blame over police action against student protesters. With over 100 ABVP members detained during protests today, the BJP stepped up its attack on the Congress-backed Jharkhand government, accusing it of failing to address the concerns of protesting students. The Congress, meanwhile, maintained its support for the students and defended its position as a partner in the State government. As protests over alleged irregularities in recruitment examinations continue, we look at the latest developments in Ranchi, the competing positions of the BJP and Congress, and whether the political blame game is overshadowing the students’ demands.
