In this regard, Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya, also the BJP leader of Uttar Pradesh, has assured that the aspirants protest gets the complete support of the BJP government.
The state government has taken the demands of the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission aspirants and officials very seriously and have been asked to find a solution said Deputy Chief Minister.
Slamming Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government over 'police action' against protesting UPPSC aspirants, Samajwadi Party (SP) Chief Akhilesh Yadav said Wednesday that the Uttar Pradesh government was playing with their future.
SP Chief also supported the demands of the aspirants and called it justified.
"They are lathi-charging the youth who came to Prayagraj seeking jobs. They are protesting for their studies. They are not even worried that the government is playing with their future. The demands of the candidates are justified," he said.
It was the third consecutive day of protest outside the UPPSC building in Prayagraj on Wednesday. Students preparing for the UPPSC on Wednesday had held a candlelight march.
The protesting candidates are demanding that the UPPSC exams must be conducted in single shift like before in PCS and RO/ARO exams to make the process more fair and more manageable.
The agitations started after UPPSC declared its decision to conduct RO-ARO exams in two days with multiple shifts.
This earlier on Wednesday was students sloganeering outside Prayagraj Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission Gate No-2 .
