Uproar in Jharkhand Assembly on CSAT

The opposition today continued its demand to withdraw the Civil Service Aptitude Test (CSAT) for state services, forcing two adjournments in the first session on the final day of the monsoon session of Jharkhand Assembly.
After forcing two adjournments and staging a walk out yesterday in protest against the government's nod to introduce CSAT, the leader of the opposition Hemant Soren raked up the issue as soon as the House convened today with the opposition members trooping into the well shouting slogans in support of their demand.
Once again admitting his "mistake" to give the nod during the UPA regime, Soren said it should be corrected in the interest of the youth.

Taking a dig, BJP MLA Radhakrishna Kishore asked Soren to submit a "list of mistakes" of the erstwhile UPA government so that the state government could correct them.
Former Deputy Chief Minister and JMM MLA Stephen Marandi, however, sought to turn the table on the previous BJP-led government before Soren took over, alleging the recommendation had been a conspiracy made earlier.
Soren also suggested for a House committee headed by Speaker Dinesh Oraon to look into the CSAT and a report be come out within a week.
Despite the Speaker said Chief Minister Raghubar Das would give a statement on CSAT at 3 pm, the opposition continued their furore forcing him to adjourn the House till 2 pm.

Meanwhile, JMM MLA Jagannath Mahto pressed his demand to introduce a domicile policy for Jharkhand and wore a shirt with his demands written on it in Hindi even as the Speaker asked him to change the shirt.
