Jharkhand Loktantrik Krantikari Morcha (JLKM) leader Devendra Nath Mahato on Monday joined the JPSC-JSCC Reform Morcha’s ‘Vidhan Sabha Gherao’ march against the alleged exam irregularities and said that the state government “will have to listen to the students’ demands.” Carrying former Jharkhand Chief Minister Shibu Soren’s portrait, student leader Mahato said, “Despite being on hunger strike, the barbed wires will not be able to stop us. I came here in an ambulance. The government will have to listen to us.” Asking the public not to make him a hero, he added, “I am no God or messiah; I am a common man. There will be no change in my personal life. But the barbed wires hurt more than the hunger strike. Students crossed three layers of barricading. Why does the government want anarchy and not agree to students’ demands?”
