Mallikarjun Kharge and Priyanka Gandhi Criticize Modi Government Over NEET PG Exam Postponement
New Delhi, India – Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge has criticized the central government for postponing the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Postgraduate (NEET PG) Examination. Kharge stated that the Modi government must be held accountable for the justice of students. He expressed his concerns on X, highlighting issues like paper leaks, corruption, and irregularities in the education system.
Kharge said, “In the NEET Scam, the buck stops at the doorstep of the top echelons of the Modi Govt. Shuffling the bureaucrats is no solution to the endemic problem in the Education system rotted by the BJP. NTA was projected to be an autonomous body, but in reality, was made to serve the devious interests of the BJP/RSS.”
He added, “For students to get Justice, Modi Govt must be held accountable. Now, the NEET-PG Exam has been postponed. 4 examinations have been either cancelled/postponed in the past 10 days. Paper Leaks, Corruption, Irregularities and Education Mafia have infiltrated our Education system. This belated whitewashing exercise is of no consequence as countless youth continue to suffer!”
Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi also voiced her concerns on X, stating that under BJP rule, the education system has been handed over to the mafia and the corrupt. She mentioned that major exams like NEET-UG, NEET-PG, UGC-NET, and CSIR-NET have faced cancellations or postponements.
Priyanka Gandhi said, “Under the BJP rule, the entire education system has been handed over to the mafia and the corrupt. The political stubbornness and arrogance of handing over the country’s education and the future of the children to greedy and sycophantic incompetent people have made paper leaks, cancellation of exams, disappearance of education from campuses and political hooliganism the identity of our education system.”
She further added, “Today, the BJP government has become the single biggest hurdle in front of the future of the youth. The capable youth of the country are wasting their precious time and energy in fighting the corruption of the BJP and the helpless Modi ji is just watching the spectacle.”
The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare postponed the NEET PG Examination, which was scheduled for Sunday, and announced that a new date will be provided soon.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin also criticized the central government, stating that the cancellation of exams has caused despair among thousands of doctors. He emphasized that these issues are not isolated incidents but indicative of a broken system of centralized selection.
Stalin said on X, “The cancellation of NEET-PG by NBE, following the cancellation of UGC-NET, has thrown thousands of our doctors into deep despair. Let us not forget the fact that these happenings are not one-off events but the final nails in the coffin of an incompetent and broken system of centralised selection. As this scam unravels, let us plan for a better future and join our hands.”
