Jharkhand protest escalates: Hunger-striking Mahato warns CM Hemant Soren after Police action

The JPSC-JSSC student protest intensified in Ranchi as JLKM leader and student leader Devendra Nath Mahato joined the Vidhan Sabha gherao march despite being on a nine-day hunger strike. Arriving in an ambulance and participating from a stretcher, Mahato accused the Jharkhand government of using water cannons and tear gas against protesters. Calling the agitation a “mass movement,” he warned that the government would be shaken if students’ demands were not addressed. Mahato also said, “Yuva” (youth) is “Vayu” (wind) in reverse and declared that “nobody can stop Vayu.”
