Twin Protests Rock Lucknow as Teacher Recruitment Aspirants and ASP Workers Hit Streets Over Jobs and Exam Irregularities

Lucknow witnessed two major protests on Saturday, both centered on growing concerns over employment, recruitment delays, and alleged irregularities in competitive examinations.

One of the demonstrations was led by aspirants of the 69,000 teacher recruitment process, who marched to the residence of Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati. The protesters said they had exhausted all avenues by repeatedly approaching the government and were now seeking Mayawati's intervention to ensure justice for backward and Dalit candidates.

Several male and female aspirants participated in the protest, demanding a resolution to the long-pending recruitment dispute, which has remained entangled in legal and administrative challenges for years. During the demonstration, police detained and removed several protesters from outside Mayawati's residence.

At the same time, the Azad Samaj Party (ASP) staged a separate protest in Lucknow over the alleged NEET paper leak and irregularities in recruitment examinations. The party demanded greater accountability and reforms in the examination system, reflecting the growing unrest among students and job aspirants across the country.

Responding to the controversy, BSP chief Mayawati expressed concern over the alleged paper leaks in NEET-UG and other competitive examinations. She said the ongoing protests by students and young aspirants have received widespread public sympathy.

Mayawati also noted that the political confrontation between the government and the opposition over demands for the Union Education Minister's resignation has intensified. However, she cautioned that the larger issue of comprehensive reforms in the country's examination and education system should not be overshadowed by political disagreements.
