Bihar’s recruitment body BSSC is in turmoil following Chairman Alok Raj’s unexpected resignation, prompting RJD to unleash a barrage of questions at the ruling government. The party vows not to let the matter rest until full details emerge.
Raj, credited with introducing online reforms, bowed out citing unavoidable personal commitments. Whispers in corridors of power suggest policy disagreements and political meddling accelerated his decision.
From the RJD headquarters in Patna, leaders organized an emergency meeting, emerging with a resolute demand: ‘Expose the facts!’ They allege the resignation stems from the government’s failure to shield autonomous bodies from interference.
The ripple effects are immediate. Thousands of hopefuls for BSSC-conducted exams, from peons to engineers, worry about indefinite halts. Past controversies, including a 2022 question paper leak, have already eroded confidence.
The state cabinet discussed the issue in a closed-door session, but ministers maintained a stoic silence. Opposition MPs have written to the Chief Minister, seeking an assembly debate.
This isn’t just an administrative shuffle; it’s a symptom of Bihar’s governance woes. With elections on the horizon, both sides are positioning strategically. The government’s next move—appointing a trusted figure or launching an inquiry—will be crucial in quelling the uproar and restoring order to the job recruitment pipeline.
