In a poignant meeting in Rajasthan's Sikar, Rahul Gandhi interacted with the grieving family of a NEET aspirant who took his own life following a paper leak. Gandhi held Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah accountable, blaming systemic corruption for the tragedy.

Expressing deep sympathy, Gandhi shared the family's anguish on social media, describing how the NEET leak inflicted unbearable pressure. He critiqued a system that has left millions of students in distress and highlighted Pradeep Meghwal's death as evidence of systemic dysfunction.

Gandhi condemned the government's handover of exam processes to mafias, insisting that responsibility rests on current leaders. The incident underscores a broader loss of faith among students in the education system, said Gandhi, urging youth to rally for systemic change.

The tragic incident occurred against the backdrop of a cancelled National Eligibility cum Entrance Test due to allegations of misconduct, sparking a wider conversation about integrity and reform in education.
