“Will Be Your Voice”: Rahul Gandhi To NEET Students

As more than 24 lakh candidates are affected by alleged irregularities in the NEET results announced recently, Congress senior leader Rahul Gandhi said he will be the voice of the students. Ahead of the oath ceremony of the Narendra Modi led NDA government today, Gandhi, whose party and alliance made a stunning comeback in the general elections, added he will strongly raise the issues related to the students’ future.

After allegations of a NEET scam, the National Testing Agency (NTA), the national body that has the mandate to conduct the medical entrance exam, announced yesterday that a committee has been formed to re-examine NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) results of the 1600 students who were given grace marks. The committee will be headed by an ex UPSC (Union Public Service Commission) chairperson. Reportedly, the revised result will come out within a week. As per the report, the revision of result will not affect the admission process.

“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,” Gandhi said in an X post on Sunday.

He added that the Congress party 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 leak by making a law. 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,” he said.

“The youth have expressed confidence in INDIA – INDIA will not allow their voice to be suppressed,” he added.
