Yadav highlighted the Governor's commitment to seeking explanations from the District Magistrate and Superintendent Police regarding the use of force against protesting aspirants. He also expressed intentions to personally discuss the matter with the Chief Minister, while questioning the selection process that saw only 12,000 candidates chosen out of 400,000.
