Raising concerns over Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s silence amid the ongoing NEET-UG exam results controversy, Congress on Friday likened the “NEET scam” to “Vyapam 2.0.”
The party emphasized that only a Supreme Court-monitored forensic investigation could protect the future of millions of young students.
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge accused the Modi government of attempting to “cover up the NEET scam” through Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and the National Testing Agency (NTA).
Kharge pointed out that if there was no paper leak in NEET, why were 13 individuals arrested in Bihar in connection with the leak? Did the Economic Offences Unit (EOU) of Patna police not uncover payments of ₹30 lakh to ₹50 lakh to the education mafia and organized gangs for exam papers?
“If the Modi government claims there was no paper leak in NEET, then why were these arrests made?” Kharge questioned in a post on X.
“What does this indicate? Was the Modi government deceiving the people of the country before or now? The Modi government has shattered the dreams of 24 lakh young people,” Kharge added.
Kharge alleged that it seems a game involving grace marks, paper leaks, and rigging was orchestrated to prevent meritorious students from gaining government admissions at concessional rates.
