Congress criticises BJP’s ‘Jharkhand bandh’ as political opportunism

Congress media coordinator Rakesh Sinha condemned the BJP’s announcement of a ‘Jharkhand bandh’, calling it a display of political opportunism rather than genuine concern for the protesters. He demanded an impartial inquiry into the police lathi‑charge on students who surrounded the state assembly, and urged the BJP to focus on securing a transparent recruitment process instead of using the agitation for electoral gain.
