With Bihar’s Assembly elections coming up in 2025, many have been curious about whether Khan Sir, the famous Patna tutor and YouTuber, plans to enter politics.

When asked, Khan Sir was quick to clarify stating, “I am not going to join the election, and I want to make this clear. Back in 2024, during the Lok Sabha elections, people kept bothering me about it, and I kept saying no. I don’t even have enough time to teach! I hope the 2025 elections get over soon so that this headache ends. I’m tired of answering the same question again and again.”

Watch him say this:

Addressing Allegations of Police Misconduct During BPSC Protests

Khan Sir also responded to accusations about police misbehaviour during the protests against changes to the Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) exam rules.

He made it clear, saying, “The police did not misbehave with me in any way. I’ve been unwell for the past 1.5 months, and during the protests, my health got worse because I was already sick.”

He admitted that he had planned to seek treatment after the BPSC exam but decided to stay and support the students when he saw them being lathi-charged. Unfortunately, his health worsened, and he was hospitalized in Patna.

Health Struggles During the Protests

Despite being unwell, Khan Sir joined the protests at Gardani Bagh to support the students who were opposing the BPSC rule changes. Unfortunately, his health took a hit, and he was admitted to the hospital due to dehydration and fever. “I was already feeling sick, but when I saw the students suffering, I had to stay and stand with them. It was tough, but I couldn’t just leave,” he said.

Concerns About the BPSC's “Normalisation Process”

Khan Sir also voiced his concerns about the “normalisation process” for the BPSC Preliminary Examination. According to him, the process could lead to unfair results, especially when different question papers are given to students in different regions, like Bhagalpur, Buxar, and Shivganj. “Normalisation works in subjects like Mathematics, but for General Studies, it just doesn’t make sense. It leads to discrimination,” Khan Sir explained.

Why the BPSC's Plan Was Problematic

He criticised the BPSC's original plan to give different question papers to candidates in 38 districts, a decision that he believed caused unnecessary mental stress for both students and teachers. The BPSC argued that this would prevent paper leaks, but Khan Sir wasn’t convinced. “They kept talking about preventing leaks, but the idea of normalisation was worrying. We had to protest to make them take our concerns seriously,” he added.

The protests eventually ended after the BPSC issued a notification stating that all students would now receive the same question paper across districts. Khan Sir acknowledged that the protest was a necessary step to bring the issue to the Commission's attention.
