Patna: Prashant Kishor, the leader of the Jan Suraaj Party, has promised to keep up his indefinite fast till the Bihar government complies with the demands of the BPSC students who are protesting.

“Until the students’ demands are satisfied, I have no intention of breaking my fast. From our end, we recommended that the CM meet with the kids and work with them to come up with a solution. I don’t mind breaking the fast if it occurs,” he told the media report.

Due to suspected question paper leaks, the students are demanding that the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) revoke the Integrated Combined (Preliminary) Competitive Examination (CCE) 2024, which was held on December 13.

Kishor made it clear that he would not break his fast until the demands of the students were acknowledged and fulfilled. In order to find a solution, he recommended that Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar meet with the students.
“Till the student’s demands are met, who have come here leaving everything to protest in the cold, till then the fast and protest cannot stop. I have said this to the administration,” Kishor remarked.

Additionally, he addressed accusations made by MP Pappu Yadav that Kishor was surreptitiously eating during a hunger strike. Kishor said he’s willing to take criticism, but he emphasized that his primary goal is still to support the requests of the BPSC students.

“I don’t mind if someone criticizes me while still standing with the pupils. As the head of the opposition (in the Bihar Assembly), I even informed Tejashwi Yadav that we would support him if he took the lead. The student’s issues will be resolved if he—even Rahul Gandhi—arrives here,” he said.

During the demonstration, Kishor was also visited by Dr. Rajeev Ranjan to assess his health. He suggested that he take precautions against the chilly waves and said that there didn’t seem to be any issues.

According to what I’ve seen thus far, he is fit. Covering oneself is the only way to protect oneself from the cold. One must remain sheltered from the deadly cold wave as it approaches. According to all criteria, Prashant Kishor is safe. The doctor speculated that his immunity may have been strong from the start, which is why he is now doing well.
