NEET-UG 2024 result row: Rahul Gandhi's PM-elect Modi, vows to be voice of students in Parliament
NEET-UG 2024 result row: Congress' MP-elect Rahul Gandhi slammed Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi over alleged irregularities in the NEET-UG 2024 exam, promising to be the students' voice in Parliament.
He reiterated the Congress party's election promise to work on a law to protect students from paper leaks, adding that the party has devised a 'robust plan'.
"Narendra Modi has not even taken oath yet and the scam in NEET exam has devastated more than 24 lakh students and their families. 6 students from the same exam centre top the exam with maximum marks, many get such marks which are technically not possible, but the government is continuously denying the possibility of paper leak," Rahul Gandhi posted on social media platform X.
"Congress had made a robust plan to deal with this 'paper leak industry' which is being run in collusion with the education mafia and the government machinery. In our manifesto, we had pledged to free the students from paper leaks by making a law," he further said.
He went on to claim that the country's youth support the opposition coalition, INDIA bloc.
"Today, I assure all the students of the country that I will become your voice in Parliament and strongly raise the issues related to your future. The youth have expressed confidence in INDIA - INDIA will not allow their voice to be suppressed," Gandhi stated.
The NTA formed a committee on Saturday to review the grace marks given to NEET UG 2024 candidates in the wake of allegations of mark inflation.
The Ministry of Education formed a committee to review the grace marks given to more than 1,500 candidates. Several candidates claimed that mark inflation resulted in 67 candidates achieving the top rank, including six from the same exam centre in Haryana.
