BJP attacks Rahul Gandhi, Hemant Soren over Jharkhand tender issue

Bhandari shifted focus to Jharkhand, alleging that a student protest was linked to a cash‑only transaction for a test‑conducting tender. He claimed the TDPL, responsible for the examination, awarded the contract without a competitive bid and that the entire payment was made in cash. The BJP accused Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Hemant Soren of colluding with the alleged irregularities and criticised the Congress leader’s remarks on the Ram Temple Trust CEO appointment.
