Pointing out that students have been protesting the alleged irregularities in BPSC recruitment exams for a long time, Gandhi said: "But instead of answering, what is the government doing? It's wielding batons and water cannons. It's taking students into custody. In Siwan, there was even firing with an AK-47 on protesters. This is not just a question of police action. This is a question of the mindset of BJP government, which has no answers, and that's why it's turning police into a weapon to evade accountability".
