‘Modi completely helpless in front of education mafia’: Rahul Gandhi as NEET PG 2024 is postponed

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
CSIR-NET :- रद्द

आज ये देश की कुछ सबसे बड़ी परीक्षाओं का हाल है।

भाजपा राज में समूची शिक्षा का ढाँचा माफियाओं-भ्रष्टाचारियों के हवाले हो चुका है। लालची और चाटुकार किस्म के अयोग्य लोगों के हाथ में देश की शिक्षा और बच्चों…

“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)

The Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP-SP) claimed that postponement of the NEET-PG entrance exam is a “failure” of the Centre, accusing the government of playing with the lives and the future of aspirants, news agency PTI reported.

Stating that the Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan cannot absolve himself from the failure in doing his duty, the party demanded his resignation over the “mess and malpractices” in the examination process, according to the PTI report.
