NEET Scam: 'Demonetisation' in education sector as 'organisations' have taken over, Rahul Gandhi takes a dig at Modi

Following the various discrepancies in exams like NET and NEET, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Thursday hit out PM Narendra Modi for not being able to 'stop paper leaks' in the country.

"It was being said that Modi ji stopped Russia-Ukraine war. But due to some reasons, Narendra Modi has not been able to stop or doesn't want to stop paper leaks in India," Rahul Gandhi said in a press conference.

"The students end up suffering as this is their future. Vyapam took place in Madhya Pradesh, which is now being spread across the country by Narendra Modi and his government. I talk about institutional capture, media; the same is happening with educational institutions. The reason behind paper leak is that VCs and educational institutions have been captured by BJP people," he added.


Attacking the Prime Minister, Gandhi said that Modi believes "in my way or the highway".

Rahul Gandhi also accused the saffron party's parent organisation of capturing the education system.

"Till the time this is not reversed, paper leaks will go on. Modi ji has facilitated this capture. It is an anti-national activity," he said.

"It's happening because all our institutions have been captured. Our Vice-Chancellors are placed not based on merit. But because they belong to a particular organization. And this organization and the BJP have penetrated our education system and destroyed it. What was done by Narendra Modi to the economy with demonetization, has now been done to the education system. The reason this is happening and the reason you're suffering is because an independent, objective education system has been demolished. It is very important that the people who are guilty here are brought to book and they are punished," Rahul Gandhi further stated.

The Rae Bareli MP also reiterated that ones responsible for the irregularities should be caught and that Congress won't allow any of this.

"Enquiry is underway, one (exam) has been cancelled; we don't know whether the other one will be cancelled or not. But, someone is responsible for all this and they should be arrested and action should be taken against them," Gandhi said.
