Bihar CM Samrat Choudhary orders action against the BPSC examination controller after controversial remarks spark anger among students

Controversial remark on protesting candidates triggers government action amid student anger

Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary has ordered the suspension of Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) Examination Controller Rajesh Kumar following a controversial remark made in the context of protests by candidates. The action came amid growing criticism over the official’s comments and anger among students and aspirants.

The controversy erupted after Kumar reportedly used the phrase “hathi chale bazaar, kutte bhaunke hazaar” while referring to the criticism and protests surrounding BPSC examinations. The remark triggered backlash from students and political leaders, with opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav demanding an apology and warning of action if one was not issued.

The controversy comes at a time when the Bihar government has been under pressure to address concerns raised by students and job aspirants over examination procedures. Choudhary had earlier announced measures aimed at improving transparency in the state’s examination system and addressing education-related grievances.
