The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) criticized Rahul Gandhi for his comments regarding the NEET controversy and the cancellation of the UGC-NET examination.
“BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla rebutted Rahul Gandhi’s allegations, emphasizing that Gandhi’s third-time failure does not justify his criticism of the youth in Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh as epicenters of paper leaks.”
“The BJP leader criticized Rahul Gandhi, suggesting that personal issues with PM Modi shouldn’t lead to baseless allegations against the youth of Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat. He further pointed out that if there is an epicenter for paper leaks in the country, it was under the Congress’ and Ashok Gehlot’s government in Rajasthan.”
Sudhanshu Trivedi, a BJP leader, emphasized the government’s commitment to ensuring fairness in the NEET exam, affirming that the government would take strict action against those responsible for any injustices to lakhs of students.
“He added that Rahul Gandhi is playing politics on this issue and has no concern for the future of lakhs of students. Despite a paper leak in Rajasthan, Rahul Gandhi remained silent on the matter.”
Rahul Gandhi Targets PM Modi
Following Rahul Gandhi’s press conference, where he alleged that educational institutions in India have been taken over by the BJP, accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi of enabling this capture, the BJP responded.
At a briefing, Gandhi remarked that while it was claimed Prime Minister Modi halted the Ukraine-Russia and Israel-Gaza conflicts, he either lacks the ability to prevent exam paper leaks or chooses not to.
“He referred to the Vyapam examination and recruitment scam in Madhya Pradesh, stating that its implications have now spread across the country.”
The Supreme Court is currently considering the NEET medical entrance examination, which is embroiled in a major controversy over alleged irregularities.
Late Wednesday night, the Union Education Ministry cancelled the UGC-NET exam amid concerns over its integrity and referred the matter to the CBI for investigation.
