In a video statement, the former Bihar deputy chief minister described the turn of events "very painful".

"It is very painful how BPSC aspirants were beaten up by the police. Many people are badly injured in this... We condemn this. The visuals that have surfaced are painful. I am a youth, and I can understand their situation. Firstly, people were protesting against normalization..." he said.

Yadav said his party had raised the issue in the Bihar Vidhan Sabha on 28 November, but the state government failed to act promptly.
