What Happened

Congress general secretary K.C. Venugopal alleged on Tuesday that members of the BJP Yuva Morcha are being transported from West Bengal to Jharkhand in trucks. The party shared a video clip on social media, which it claims shows these individuals being sent to participate in the ongoing student protests regarding exam irregularities.

The Congress party stated that this action is an attempt to alter the nature of the non-violent student movement.
