NEET Leak Row Explodes in Parliament: NDA and INDIA Bloc Face Off Over Education Minister’s Resignation Demand
The NEET-UG paper leak controversy reached the heart of Indian politics as Opposition leaders demanded accountability, while the ruling alliance accused them of avoiding debate.
The controversy surrounding the NEET-UG paper leak intensified on Thursday as the Parliament premises witnessed a heated confrontation between the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and the Opposition INDIA bloc.
The political battle unfolded both inside Parliament and outside at Makar Dwar, where leaders from both alliances staged separate demonstrations over the issue that has triggered widespread concern among students and parents across the country.
The INDIA bloc demanded the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, accusing the government of failing to ensure transparency and accountability in the examination process.
Meanwhile, the NDA hit back, alleging that the Opposition was deliberately preventing discussion on the matter and attempting to create political controversy instead of seeking solutions.
