The Congress leader also referred to reports of student distress linked to examination controversies, claiming that several young people had died by suicide following irregularities in recruitment and entrance examinations.
โModi ji does not utter a single word. There are countless candidates whose parents took loans to support years of preparation, only to see examinations such as NEET, SSC, UGC-NET and CUET become mired in paper leak allegations,โ he said.
Kharge further alleged that irregularities had affected multiple examination systems, including the CBSE evaluation process and even the UPSC examination system, which he described as a symbol of credibility.
โThe country’s aware youth is demanding just one thing โ the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan. It has become the first test of accountability. Unfortunately, the BJP has completely failed this exam,โ he said.
The Congress has been demanding Pradhan’s resignation over alleged irregularities linked to NEET, paper leaks, recruitment examinations and the recent controversy surrounding CBSE’s on-screen marking system.
The party has also announced a nationwide outreach campaign on the issue. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is scheduled to address student conventions beginning in Kota on 17 June as part of efforts to mobilise students and job aspirants around concerns over examination integrity and recruitment processes.
