Rahul Gandhi recently met with the grieving family of Pradeep Meghwal, a NEET aspirant who ended his life after the exam was canceled due to a paper leak in Rajasthan's Sikar. The Congress leader highlighted the tragic impact of what he described as a 'broken, corrupt system.'

In a heartfelt message on social media, Gandhi conveyed that Meghwal's death was not a mere suicide but a consequence of systemic failures. He laid the blame at the feet of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, urging them to take responsibility. Gandhi also shared the frustrations of other NEET aspirants, who expressed their loss of faith in the examination system.

The paper leak incident led to widespread disappointment, with the NEET UG exam slated for May 3, ultimately being canceled. Gandhi's interactions with youth underscored their growing impatience with government corruption and highlighted their potential to drive change.
