MPSC Aspirants Protest in Pune Demand Chairman's Resignation Amid Paper Leak Allegations
MPSC aspirants in Pune have been protesting for several days, demanding the resignation of Maharashtra Public Service Commission chairman Vivek Bhimanwar amid allegations of paper leaks and examination irregularities. The agitation, led by NCP (SP) MLA Rohit Pawar, has drawn support from opposition leaders including Sanjay Raut, Aaditya Thackeray, Raj Thackeray, Rahul Gandhi, and Maratha activist Manoj Jarange. The state government, led by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, has initiated a judicial inquiry and transferred the MPSC secretary, while maintaining that most demands have been accepted. Protesters remain divided on exam formats and continue to press for transparency and reforms.
