While Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar recalled his students from Rajasthan’s kota to Madhya Pradesh, he was questioned why the BJP government in Madhya Pradesh was allowed to do so, saying there needed to be a policy on the matter. The students are in many states but at the same time the workers are also trapped. How can you allow the Madhya Pradesh government to bring back students from the kota if there is a ban on moving from one state to another at present?
