BJP Accuses Rahul Gandhi of Spreading Falsehoods About NEET Case

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday charged Congress leader Rahul Gandhi with circulating 'misinformation' concerning the Supreme Court's hearing on the NEET paper leak issue. The BJP alleges Gandhi misrepresented the discussions conducted at India's apex court.

The BJP's retort follows Gandhi's critique of the government, referencing Solicitor General Tushar Mehta's statement in court about the government's vested interest in resolving the concerns of youth. Gandhi, in a social media post, suggested that Prime Minister Modi's oversight was inadequate, as shared through a media report about the solicitor general's court submission.

BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra rebuked Gandhi, asserting that his actions aim for political gain rather than student welfare. Patra and other BJP leaders, including Rajya Sabha MP Sudhanshu Trivedi, accused Gandhi of lacking an understanding of the issue. Trivedi emphasized the Prime Minister's personal commitment to addressing the problem, criticizing Gandhi for misquoting facts.
