Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra with Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge
The Congress has targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government over the reshuffle in the bureaucracy of the National Examination Agency (NTA) after alleged irregularities in the medical entrance exam NEET-UG, saying that instead of putting the responsibility on others, the top leadership of the government should take it upon itself. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge alleged that the NTA was described as an autonomous body, but in reality it was created to serve the “nefarious interests” of the BJP/RSS.
“The top leadership of the Modi government should take responsibility for the NEET scam. Reshuffling the bureaucracy is not the solution to the problem of the education system ruined by the BJP,” the Congress president said in a post on ‘X’. He said the Modi government should be held accountable to ensure justice to students. The central government on Saturday removed NTA Director General Subodh Singh and handed over the investigation into irregularities in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
The education ministry has also postponed the NEET-PG exam, which is the fourth competitive exam to be postponed in recent times. Kharge said the NEET-PG exam has been postponed and all the 4 exams in the last 10 days were either cancelled or postponed. “Paper leaks, corruption, irregularities and education mafia have entered our education system,” he alleged. “This belated exercise will not yield any result as countless youth are suffering from it,” Kharge said.
“Now NEET-PG also postponed!”.
Criticising the postponement of NEET-PG exam, former Congress president Rahul Gandhi alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is helpless in front of the paper leak gang and education mafia. Rahul wrote on social media platform ‘X’, “Now NEET-PG is also postponed! This is another unfortunate example of the ruined education system under Narendra Modi’s rule. In BJP rule, students are forced to ‘fight’ the government to save their future, not ‘study’ to make their career. Now it is clear – Modi, who has been a silent spectator every time, is completely helpless in front of the paper leak gang and education mafia.” He said that Narendra Modi’s incompetent government is the biggest threat to the future of students – we have to save the country’s future from it.
Attack by Priyanka and Jairam Ramesh
Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also attacked the Modi government over alleged irregularities in national competitive exams including NEET-UG, alleging that it has handed over the entire education system to “mafia” and “corrupts”. In a post on ‘X’, she said that the NEET-UG question paper was “leaked”, while NEET-PG, UGC-NET and CSIR-NET exams were “cancelled”. Earlier, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said, “Not a day passes without news of cancellation of any exam due to the incompetence of the non-biological Prime Minister and those around him.” (Language)
