The recent cancellation of the NEET-UG 2026 examination due to paper leak allegations has triggered strong reactions from opposition leaders. They accuse the government of administrative ineptitude and insensitivity towards students, as calls for accountability from the National Testing Agency (NTA) intensify.
Rahul Gandhi of the Congress party described the situation as a 'crime against the future of the youth,' while other leaders like Akhilesh Yadav and Arvind Kejriwal questioned the credibility of the examination system, suggesting it would continue to suffer under the current regime.
As the government has ordered a CBI inquiry, leaders from various political fronts urge students to voice their frustrations, criticizing the BJP government for lacking the competence to conduct exams securely and effectively and demanding that the system be urgently overhauled.
