Minister Deepika was active in the student movement
It is noteworthy that during the demonstration of JPSC-JSSC students in Ranchi, Minister Deepika Pandey Singh had communicated with the students on behalf of the government and talked about respecting their democratic rights. He had also appealed to the administration not to use force on the agitators. In the same sequence, on August 17, he reached Ranchi Sadar Hospital and ended the fast of student leader Devendra Nath Mahato by giving him juice, in which Health Minister Irfan Ansari was also present. However, during the demonstration, the agitators also burnt effigies of Minister Deepika and some other ministers in protest against the lathi charge.
