BSSC Chairman Alok Raj resigns just two days after taking charge of the Bihar Staff Selection Commission, creating a fresh stir in the state administration. BSSC Chairman Alok Raj resigns citing personal reasons, according to officials from the General Administration Department.
Alok Raj, a retired IPS officer and former Director General of Police (DGP) of Bihar, submitted his resignation shortly after joining the post. He had taken charge as the full-time chairman of the BSSC following a recent government notification.
The state government appointed him for a five-year term or until he reached the age of 65. Before this appointment, Alok Raj had already served as chairman with additional charge, which made his sudden exit even more surprising.
Sources said he did not mention any political or administrative pressure in his resignation letter. The government has not issued a detailed statement on the matter so far.
The Bihar Staff Selection Commission plays a key role in conducting recruitment exams and selecting candidates for various government posts. Alok Raj’s resignation may delay upcoming recruitment processes until a new chairman takes charge.
Officials expect the government to announce a replacement soon to ensure smooth functioning of the commission and avoid further disruption in recruitment work.
