Congress slams BJP over NEET ‘paper leak’,

NEW DELHI: Slamming the BJP over the issue of examination paper leaks, the Congress on Monday said this trend has been going on for the last 10 years and that is why unemployment and corruption in jobs are the biggest issues of this election.

Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi said the news of NEET exam paper leak is a “betrayal” of the dreams of more than 23 lakh students and their families.

The National Testing Agency (NTA) issued a clarification on the issue and said the reports claiming question paper leak in the medical entrance exam NEET-UG are “completely baseless and without any ground”.

In a post in Hindi on X, Gandhi said, “Be it the students who dream of getting admission in college after passing 12th or the promising youth who are struggling for government jobs, the Modi government has become a curse for everyone.”

“The youth and their family, who have been paying the price of the BJP government’s incompetence for the last 10 years with the destruction of their future, have now understood that there is a difference between speaking and running the government,” he said.

The Congress has resolved to free the youth from paper leaks by making strict laws, Gandhi said and added that a healthy and transparent environment for students is the party’s guarantee.

In a post in Hindi on X, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said, “Once again there are reports of NEET paper leak. The future of 24 lakh youth of the country was again at stake. This trend, which has been going on with crores of promising youth for the last 10 years, is showing no sign of stopping. Will the Prime Minister of the country say anything on this?” she said.
