UPPSC Exams To Be Held In Single Shift After Massive Students Protest Over Paper Schedule

Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya has assured that the BJP government extends full support to protesting State Public Service Commission aspirants. He also said that the state government is taking the demands of the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) aspirants seriously and has instructed officials to find a solution.

Samajwadi Party (SP) Chief Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday slammed Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government over 'police action' against protesting UPPSC aspirants and accused it of "playing with their future". The SP Chief also supported the demands of the aspirants and called it justified.

"They are lathi-charging the youth who came to Prayagraj to ask for jobs. They are protesting for their studies. They are not even worried that the government is playing with their future. The demands of the candidates are justified," he said. Students preparing for the UPPSC on Wednesday held a candlelight march, marking the third consecutive day of protests outside the UPPSC building in Prayagraj.
