BJP Yuva Morcha state president Indranil Khan extended support to teachers protesting outside the West Bengal School Service Commission (WBSSC) over job losses caused by the Supreme Court's annulment of their appointments. The High Court had deemed the 2016 recruitment process as vitiated.

Khan pledged not to remain silent until justice is served and warned of intensified street protests if the issue is unresolved. Teachers, among the 25,753 whose jobs were nullified, launched an indefinite hunger strike demanding redressal.

The protestors accused the government of blocking the OMR list's publication to protect those who allegedly rigged the recruitment. BJP MP Abhijit Gangopadhyay, a former judge, backed the protests, having previously ordered a CBI probe into the irregularities.
