Yuva Morcha protest march to Kerala CM’s official residence over PSC exam ‘anomalies’ turns violent
Protesters from the BJP's youth wing, the BJYM, clashed with police during a march to the Kerala Chief Minister's residence to protest alleged irregularities in state PSC exams. The demonstration was part of a broader effort by the BJP to challenge the state government's handling of student-related issues.
Why it matters
This event reflects the intensifying political rivalry between the BJP and opposition-led state governments, often played out through student-led protests and public demonstrations.
Violent scenes were witnessed at Devaswom Board junction in the State capital following a protest march taken out by Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM), the young wing of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), to the Cliff House, the official residence of the Chief Minister of Kerala, on Friday (July 24, 2026).
The BJYM marched to Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan's official residence accusing him of failing to take concrete action in the alleged anomalies in some examinations conducted by the State Public Service Commission (PSC). The Yuva Morcha alleged double standards on the part of the Chief Minister in taking part in the protest led by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi outside Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence in Delhi demanding action on the NEET paper leaks.
