Dipke addressed thousands of MPSC aspirants in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, urging them to record a two‑minute Instagram video calling for Bhimanwar's resignation. He warned that 15‑20 lakh youths remain job‑less, a fact he said erodes public faith in the state’s institutions.
He linked Bhimanwar's alleged misconduct to a long‑running RTO licence and number‑plate scam, questioning whether Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis benefited from the proceeds. Dipke slammed the CM, saying that if Fadnavis is receiving cuts from corrupt contracts, the public service system is sinking.
Bhimanwar has previously denied the resignation request, asserting that the 2026 Drug Inspector exam paper leak occurred before he assumed office. He pointed out that the leak happened under his predecessor, not during his tenure.
The exam leak, which saw aspirants access the paper weeks before the test, ignited nationwide protests demanding reforms and the removal of both Bhimanwar and the commission’s secretary. Students gathered on the streets, waving banners calling for accountability.
Dipke also highlighted the state’s 15‑20 lakh unemployed youth, arguing that a loss of public‑service opportunities erodes civic trust and stokes discontent. He urged aspirants to use social media as a pressure tool.
The MPSC has yet to issue a formal response, while political observers watch to see if the coalition will pressure Bhimanwar to step down amid mounting scrutiny.
