Jharkhand excise constable recruitment drive held for 'votes': Shivraj Singh Chouhan

Union minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan accused the Hemant Soren-led Jharkhand government of conducting a flawed excise constable recruitment drive for votes, resulting in 12 deaths. The recruitment process, which involved a strenuous 10-km run, has been halted and will resume with revised norms. Chouhan criticized the government's unfulfilled promises and alleged corruption.
