Amrit Kaal or Mrit Kaal: The NEET Exam Controversy Unfolds

The Congress accuses the Modi government of failing students amidst the NEET exam scandal, alleging negligence and corruption. With multiple paper leaks and consequent student suicides, opposition demands Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation, highlighting systemic issues and urgent need for fair examination processes.

In the wake of the NEET cancellation controversy, the Congress party on Saturday accused the Modi administration of turning 'Amrit Kaal' into 'Mrit Kaal' for students preparing for competitive exams and demanded the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge criticized the government for failing to address the NEET paper leak scandal, which has reportedly led to several student suicides. The opposition blames a corrupt system under the BJP-led regime for the distressing situation, with over 90 leaked examination papers affecting millions.

The crisis extends to broader educational issues, as flagged by Congress Communications General Secretary Jairam Ramesh. Allegations of incompetence and bias plague the education ecosystem, emphasizing a need for reform beyond mere examination reviews.
