Kishor has been accused of violating prohibitory order by turning down repeated requests of the district administration, causing obstruction in the discharge of official duty and sitting on an indefinite hunger strike without prior permission from the authorities concerned.Later talking to the media outside the court premises, Kishor said that he would continue his agitation in the jail premises and would not bother about its consequences.”I have done nothing wrong. My agitation was peaceful. Holding peaceful demonstrations or sitting on dharna or fast-unto-death are our rights,” he asserted. He, however, dismissed the report of slapping by the police in the course of removing him from the protest site near Gandhi Statue at Gandhi Maidan.”Yes, their behaviour was not well later in the day when I refused to allow a medical check at Fatuha community hospital before being taken to the court,” he told the media.Kishor reiterated his resolve to continue his agitation till the demands of the BPSC candidates for cancellation of the examination and retest were conceded. At the same time, he urged workers of the party and youths not to confront the police and the protest was not against the police machinery.”Our fight is against the NDA government (in Bihar), which believes in suppressing the voices of the people. But they are under the shadow of illusion. People will uproot the Nitish-led NDA government in the upcoming assembly polls in the state,” he asserted.Around 4.83 lakh candidates appeared at the 70th Combined (Preliminary) Competitive Examination held at 922 examination centres across the state on December 13. The candidates are demanding cancellation of the examination alleging question paper leak and other irregularities.
