Congress alleges BJP Yuva Morcha members being sent from West Bengal to Jharkhand to join student protest
The Congress party has accused the BJP of transporting youth members from West Bengal to Jharkhand to infiltrate and manipulate a student protest. The party claims this is an attempt to create a 'fake crowd' to undermine genuine public outrage against exam irregularities.
Why it matters
This reflects the highly polarized political climate in India, where student movements are frequently caught in inter-party conflicts and allegations of external interference.
The Congress on Tuesday (August 11, 2026) alleged that some members of the BJP Yuva Morcha were being transported from West Benga l in trucks to Jharkhand, and an attempt was being made to give a different colour to the ongoing non-violent student movement there.
The Opposition party said the BJP thinks that if a "fake crowd" is sent to the Jharkhand movement to make it look bigger, then the public outrage that has arisen against it will die down.
Congress general secretary K.C. Venugopal shared a video clip purportedly showing youth allegedly being sent by the BJP to participate in the Jharkhand student protest against exam irregularities.
