Kejriwal slams Govt over paper leak

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal has called out the Modi government after the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) examination was cancelled following a paper leak, asserting that repeated leaks are happening because of political collusion and protection.

Referring to earlier NEET paper leaks in 2017, 2021 and 2024, he revealed that the examination has now been compromised four times under the Modi government, yet not a single person involved has been punished, and even the previous accused are out on bail.

Calling it a betrayal of crores of students who spent years preparing for the examination, the AAP chief said the youth would now have to take to the streets, and the Aam Aadmi Party would stand with them.

During a press conference, Arvind Kejriwal shared, “I want to express my deepest sympathies to the lakhs of children and their parents who have been affected by the cancellation of this examination. I too appeared for the IIT examination in my life and later for the Civil Services examination. I know the kind of intense hard work and penance it requires.”

Recalling his own preparation days, he said, “We had a very small house in Hisar, and we had built a tiny room upstairs where I would sit and prepare the whole day. Fortunately, in those days papers were not leaked.

There are so many poor families in this country. Coaching has become so expensive. Many students come to Delhi and stay here on rent for coaching. Many parents mortgage their gold and even sell their land to pay for their child’s coaching.
