Rohit Pawar
Pune: NCP (SP) MLA Rohit Pawar has extended support to the protest of MPSC aspirants, who will resume their agitation in Pune from Sept 26, demanding action over alleged examination irregularities, recruitment delays and the functioning of the commission. The fresh protest follows the Sept 7 student march in Pune, where aspirants had demanded greater transparency in MPSC examinations and action over alleged irregularities.
Pawar said no decision had yet been taken on the chairman’s resignation despite the earlier agitation. Bhimanwar has rejected allegations against him and said the drug inspector paper leak occurred before he took charge as MPSC chairman. He has also said he would resign if evidence was provided against him.
The students had also sought changes in the commission’s functioning. He has informed Pune police commissioner about the proposed protest and appealed to police to cooperate with the students.
