National Students' Union of India (NSUI) today alleged that Central Government is not taking the demand of UPSC aspirants seriously.
"Central Government promised students that their demands would be looked into and assured them that they will not be let disadvantaged. However, last night the UPSC issued e-admit cards for the forthcoming preliminary examinations on July 26 leading to another round of widespread protest and anger," NSUI's national spokesperson Amrish Ranjan Pandey said.
Pandey alleged, "This just reflects the dual face of BJP leadership; they make false promises on pretext of gaining populism and then make a U-turn. Central Government is not taking students' demands seriously."
Pandey said that students have been protesting against the format of CSAT examinations in UPSC for nearly two months now, which clearly gives undue advantage to the students belonging to the Hindi medium and other regional languages.
"With an aim to support the cause of students and protest against the attitude of the Central Government, NSUI has decided to protest against the UPSC decision at the Jantar Mantar tomorrow," he added.
