TRE-4 row intensifies as Tejashwi, PK back protesters, target Bihar govt
The Statesman Siliguri
|May 22, 2026
The ongoing protest by candidates demanding the BPSC TRE-4 (Teachers Recruitment Examination) received a major boost on Thursday as Leader of Opposition in the Bihar Assembly Tejashwi Yadav and Jan Suraaj Party founder Prashant Kishor, alias PK, extended support to the protesting aspirants and accused the state government of injustice and betrayal towards Bihar’s youth.
Launching a blistering attack on the NDA government, Tejashwi said the youth were merely demanding what the alliance had promised before the elections, one crore jobs.
He questioned, “Why are youths being subjected to such oppression? How is demanding the TRE-4 examination a crime? How is opposing paper leaks an offence? Why are Bihar’s youths repeatedly facing lathi-charges?”
