Recruitment row: BJP to hold statewide agitation in Jharkhand over cases against students

The party on Friday announced a four-day statewide agitation from September 8 to 11. During the campaign, BJP workers will stage protests and gherao the offices of deputy commissioners (DCs) and superintendents of police (SPs) at all district headquarters.
