NTPC results: Sushil Modi meets Ashwini Vaishnaw, alleges Congress, RJD hand in protests

Bihar BJP MP Sushil Modi said on Friday that those protesting against RRB-NTPC result controversy were not candidates but individuals belonging to political parties, adding that the students had already returned home after receiving assurance from Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw.

New Delhi:Bihar Bharatiya Janata Party MP Sushil Modi said on Friday that those protesting against RRB-NTPC result controversy were not candidates but individuals belonging to political parties, adding that the students had already returned home after receiving assurance from Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw.

“Opposition parties, including RJD and Congress, are doing politics in this matter and trying to mislead the students. Those who are studying will not be fooled by these theatrics”, Modi said, before adding that he had met Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and talked to him regarding the issue.

“I have met the Railways Minister. The major demands from students have been accepted. The railways will now take one examination for the Group D recruitment, instead of two. The NTPC result will be based upon one candidate-unique result formula, and an additional 3.5 lakh results will be prepared on the basis of this method”.

However, the implementations of the demands, he noted, would be done after the committee formed in this regard submits its report.

Significantly, Modi also demanded that no action should be taken on the protesting students or teachers in Bihar.

“I request the police administration of Bihar to not take any action on students or teachers, including Khan sir. If the railway board had cleared up students' confusion, then the situation would not have occurred," he said, regarding the demonstrations.

The students in Bihar have called for a state-wide bandh on Friday regarding the Railway Recruitment Board (RRB)'s results of Non Technical Popular Category (NTPC) examination.
