Protests seeking the resignation of the Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) chairman have been underway for six days in Pune over alleged irregularities in the functioning of the commission and examination-related controversies

Addressing the protesting aspirants here, Thackeray drew a parallel between their demand for Bhimanwar's resignation and the opposition-led agitation at the national level seeking the removal of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar

Demonstrations are being held for disparate demands, including an objective or descriptive format of MPSC examinations. However, the main demand is the resignation of Bhimanwar

Aaditya Thackeray said, "There are two demands. The way you are seeking the resignation of the MPSC chairman, similarly, at the national level there is an agitation for the resignation of Gyanesh Kumar. Both are ruining your future, but both have been backed by two kings," reported the PTI

The Shiv Sena (UBT) leader's visit came amid the continuing agitation by MPSC aspirants in Pune over recruitment-related demands, including the resignation of the commission chairman
