Hours after the Ministry of Health postponed the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test postgraduate (NEET PG) 2024 a night before the scheduled date for the examination, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, while reiterating Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s silence on the issue, said that the PM had become “completely helpless in front of the paper leak racket and education mafia.”
The postponing of the exam came at a time when the country’s eyes are already on the ongoing NEET UG exam which has been marred with allegations of paper leaks and other discrepancies.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Rahul wrote, “Now NEET PG is also postponed! This is another unfortunate example of the ruined education system under the rule of Narendra Modi. In BJP rule, students are not forced to ‘study’ to make their career but are forced to ‘fight’ with the government to save their future.”
“Now it is clear — Modi, who used to silently watch the spectacle every time, is completely helpless in front of the paper leak racket and education mafia. Narendra Modi’s incompetent government is the biggest threat to the future of students — we must save the future of the country from it,” he added.
अब NEET PG भी स्थगित!
यह नरेंद्र मोदी के राज में बर्बाद हो चुकी शिक्षा व्यवस्था का एक और दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण उदाहरण है।
भाजपा राज में छात्र अपना करियर बनाने के लिए ‘पढ़ाई’ नहीं, अपना भविष्य बचाने के लिए सरकार से ‘लड़ाई’ लड़ने को मजबूर है।
अब यह स्पष्ट है – हर बार चुप-चाप तमाशा…

The Ministry of Health, as per a release, decided to undertake a thorough assessment of the robustness of processes of the NEET-PG examination, conducted by National Board of Examination every year. “Fresh date of this examination will be notified at the earliest,” the Ministry stated.
While the decision, affecting approximately 2 lakh students, is being heavily criticised by NEET PG aspirants, the Opposition INDIA bloc leaders have too begun to target the Centre over the move.
‘Education mafia has infiltrated our education system’: Mallikarjun Kharge
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, too, took to X, demanding that the Modi government must be held accountable for their actions.
“For students to get Justice, Modi Govt must be held accountable. Now, 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 has infiltrated our Education system. This belated whitewashing exercise is of NO consequence as countless youth continue to suffer!” he wrote on X.
He also came down heavily on the Union government after it removed Subodh Kumar Singh as NTA chief and put him on “compulsory wait” in the Department of Personnel and Training amid cancellation of NEET examination.
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.

“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 said.
The Union government also announced that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) will also investigate the irregularities alleged in the conduct of NEET-UG. This decision came after the Centre received a report from the Bihar government’s Economic Offences Unit (EOU) Saturday stating that its probe “clearly suggests a paper leak” for NEET-UG.
Education system handed over to ‘mafia’ by Modi govt: Priyanka Gandhi
Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Sunday attacked the Modi government, alleging that it has handed over the entire education system to the “mafia” and the “corrupt”.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), underlining that the NEET-UG question paper was “leaked” while the NEET-PG, UGC-NET and CSIR-NET exams were “cancelled,” she wrote, “The political stubbornness and arrogance of handing over the country’s education and the future of the children to greedy and sycophantic incompetent people has made paper leaks, cancellation of exams, disappearance of education from campuses and political hooliganism the identity of our education system.”
NEET-UG :- पेपर लीक
NEET-PG :- रद्द
UGC-NET :- रद्द

“The situation has become such that the BJP government cannot conduct even an examination in a fair manner. 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,” she continued.
‘Govt playing with the lives and future of children’: NCP (SP)

“Due to the inability to do their job, the government is playing with the lives and future of children,” NCP (SP) national spokesperson Clyde Crasto stated in a release on Saturday.
