Addressing journalists on August 19, MP Avadhesh Prasad shared his view on the recent Congress Working Committee (CWC) gathering. He said that the party’s national president, Akhilesh Yadav, will decide whether to attend based on the information he receives, and that Prasad himself has not been briefed on the matter.
Shifting to matters in Jharkhand, Prasad urged the state’s chief minister to prioritize student welfare before taking any action on exam cancellations. He appealed to the government to introduce measures that protect students from any adverse impact, emphasizing the need for dialogue and careful planning.
