Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi Calls Maharashtra Bandh on July 23 Over NEET Protests
The Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA), led by Prakash Ambedkar, has called for a Maharashtra Bandh on July 23 to protest police action against students and activists involved in demonstrations over alleged irregularities in the NEET medical entrance exam. The party urges opposition groups, student organizations, labor unions, and the public to join the peaceful protest. The Maharashtra government has not declared a public holiday, and the bandh's impact may vary across regions, with some opposition support but uncertain ground participation.
