Even as the interviews for fifth civil services examinations conducted by the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) began on Tuesday, candidates continued their fast unto death near Raj Bhavan over the rejection of 618 copies.

“We have asked the authorities to reschedule the interview for JPSC 2015 exam but without considering our valid points the authorities have started the interview procedure. Moreover, the entire procedure is under scrutiny still commission is conducting the interview,” said JPSC aspirant, Dharmendra Kumar.

Though from the very beginning stage rejected JPSC candidates are receiving full support from the local political leaders but so far no steps has been taken from the concerned authority to clarify the stance.

“We are continuously receiving support from local politicians and some of them have even written to the concerned authority but citing their own points the commission members so far have not intervene into the matter and have started the interview procedure without taking into account the present condition of candidates who are on fast onto death,” said another JPSC candidate.

Congress leader Rajiv Ranjan Prasad , JMM party MlA from Silli Amit Mahato, Jharkhand Vikash Morcha Prajatantrik general secretary Pradeep Yadav and party supremo Babulal Marandi have already lend their support to all JPSC candidates. In the recent development, PK Siddharth of Suraaj Dal, who has joined the students to support the JPSC candidates, too rejected JPSC’s press notice issued by the commission few days back.
