Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA) President Prakash Ambedkar on Thursday claimed that the Maharashtra Bandh called in support of students protesting at Delhi's Jantar Mantar received an overwhelming response across the state, and asserted that the agitation would continue until the Centre announces a concrete roadmap to prevent examination paper leaks.

Addressing a press conference in Mumbai, Ambedkar thanked the people of Maharashtra for supporting the 48-hour bandh called to protest the alleged police lathi charge on students at Jantar Mantar and to express solidarity with the ongoing agitation.
