Bihar MP Pappu Yadav takes oath wearing t-shirt with ReNeet slogan. Watch video

Independent MP from Bihar's Purnea, Pappu Yadav today took oath as a member of the Parliament while wearing a t-shirt with the words 'ReNEET' on it.

He took oath as a member to the 18th Lok Sabha and concludes his oath by saying, "Re-NEET, special status for Bihar, Seemanchal Zindabad, Manavtavaad Zindabad, Bhim Zindabad, Samvidhan Zindabad".

He also had a heated exchange of words with members of the Treasury Bench.


Pappu Yadav had yesterday questioned the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) taking over the probe into irregularities in NEET-UG.

"The case has been handed over to the CBI because the Bihar Police's Economic Offences Unit wanted to interrogate National Testing Agency (NTA) officials … That is why they quickly ordered a CBI probe. We will raise the issue in Parliament and demand a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe into it," Yadav said.


The Centre has drawn flak over alleged irregularities in the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test Undergraduate (NEET-UG) and the the University Grants Commission–National Eligibility Test (UGC-NET).

While the medical entrance exam question paper was allegedly leaked, according to an investigation by the Bihar Police, UGC-NET was cancelled a day after it was conducted following input that the exam's integrity had been compromised. Both the matters are now being investigated by the CBI.

Two other exams -- NEET-PG and CSIR-UGC NET -- have been cancelled by the government amid the row.

Meanwhile, the Congress-affiliated National Students' Union of India (NSUI) had planned a march to the Parliament on the first day of the 18th Lok Sabha.

The students, holding placards and NSUI flags, gathered in large numbers at Jantar Mantar for their 'Chhatra Sansad Gherav'.

Ahead of the protest, police barricaded the area to prevent the students from taking out their march. More than two dozen students, some of them NSUI members, were detained.

Yesterday, after Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan proceeded to take his oath, members of the opposition raised "NEET, NEET".
