In New Delhi, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi spoke out against Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi on Sunday regarding the NEET-UG medical entrance controversy. With more than 24 lakh students affected by the alleged irregularities in the exam, Gandhi expressed his disappointment that this issue has arisen even before Modi has taken oath for his new term in office.
Gandhi went on to assure students across the country that he will be their voice in Parliament and will strongly advocate for their future. The National Testing Agency has been under scrutiny for the inflation of marks in the NEET-UG exam, leading to the Ministry of Education forming a four-member panel to review the grace marks awarded to over 1,500 candidates.
In a post on his social media page in Hindi, Gandhi criticized Modi saying, "Narendra Modi hasn't even taken oath yet, and the irregularities in the NEET exam have devastated more than 24 lakh students and their families." He also pointed out the fact that six students from one exam center received the highest marks possible, while many others received marks that were technically impossible to achieve. Despite this, the government continues to deny any possibility of a paper leak.
The former Congress chief also revealed that his party had a solid plan to tackle the "paper leak industry" which is in cahoots with the education mafia and government officials. In their election manifesto, the Congress had promised to pass a law to ensure students are protected from paper leaks.
Gandhi promised students that he will not let their voices go unheard in Parliament and will speak up for their future. He also expressed his faith in the INDIA bloc, stating that they will not let the youth's voices be suppressed. The NTA, on the other hand, has denied any irregularities and attributed the high marks to changes in NCERT textbooks and grace marks given to students who lost time during the exam.
This issue has now turned political, with various parties questioning the authenticity of the national medical entrance exam. The Congress has demanded a high-level investigation supervised by the Supreme Court to look into the irregularities and accused the BJP of cheating young students and playing with their futures.
In conclusion, the NEET-UG medical entrance row has caused distress to millions of students and their families, and the Congress, led by Rahul Gandhi, is determined to stand up for their rights and ensure their future is not compromised.
