JLKM leader Devendra Nath Mahto launched the JPSC-JSSC Recruitment System Reform Yatra from Nemra village in Ramgarh, demanding transparency in government recruitment exams. The statewide campaign will cover all 24 districts. The launch faced protests from villagers supporting Hemant Soren, prompting Mahto to shift the programme location and begin the yatra after traditional rituals.

Ranchi: Jharkhand Loktantrik Krantikari Morcha (JLKM) leader Devendra Nath Mahto on Monday launched the "JPSC-JSSC Recruitment System Reform Yatra" from Lukaiya Tand at Nemra village, the ancestral home of late former chief minister Shibu Soren, in Ramgarh district after paying floral tribute to his statue.

Mahto had carried a framed portrait of Shibu Soren, father of the present CM and JMM chief Hemant Soren, even during the march to the assembly on August 10. Mahto had ended his 16-day hunger strike after the state government cancelled the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission Combined Graduate Level (JSSC-CGL) examination and all recruitment processes.

Organised under the banner of the JPSC-JSSC Aspirants' Nyay Manch, the Yatra aims to address systemic issues related to the state government`s recruitment examinations. Their major demands include complete checks on question paper leaks and exam rigging, absolute transparency and fairness in JPSC and JSSC examination systems, and firm legal support for job aspirants.
