NEW DELHI: A Jharkhand protester, in a unique show of symbolism, shaved his head after burning the effigies of chief minister Hemant Soren<\/a>, Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi<\/a> and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, calling himself their “younger brother”, who is “mourning” the “dead” leaders.Amid the deadlock between the students protesting against irregularties in the state examination and its selection process, Baha Linda, who shaved his head, said: “These people are like the dead. They only develop their own families; they are trapped in dynastic politics. They garner votes from Jharkhand but develop only their own families, so one cannot expect much from the dead… I shaved my head.”Targeting CM Hemant Soren and Rahul Gandhi, whose Congress is the part of the Jharkhand government, the protestor said: “I am the younger brother of Rahul Gandhi and Hemant Soren. It is my duty to dedicate my body, mind, and resources to their final rites… Once their cremation is over and the ashes remain, I will be the one who has to stand up and immerse them in the Swarnarekha Ghat to fulfill a younger brother’s duty. You cannot expect anything from the dead.““I am observing mourning for my elder brothers Rahul and Hemant Ji,” he further told news agency ANI.Earlier, students protesting against alleged irregularities in Jharkhand’s recruitment examinations burned the effigies of CM Hemant Soren, Lok Sabha leader of opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi, and Tejashwi Yadav.The protest by students and job aspirants over alleged irregularities in Jharkhand recruitment examinations entered its 23rd day on Sunday, with the protesters, under the banner of JPSC-JSSC Reforms Manch, accusing the ruling JMM-Congress alliance of failing to take \u201cconcrete action\u201d on their demands.<\/p>\n
