Prashant Kishore set on hunger strike, in support of BPSC candidates

Prashant Kishore has sat on hunger strike under the Gandhi statue in Gandhi Maidan regarding the matter of BPSC candidates. He gave a 48-hour ultimatum to the government and said that if a solution is not found by the evening of January 2, then he himself will sit on a dharna. Prashant Kishore said, this hunger strike is against the arrogant government of Bihar, whose leader CM Nitish Kumar did not even consider it appropriate to meet the students. Officials beat up the students. That's why I am on an indefinite hunger strike.
