Rahul Gandhi Alleges 152 Paper Leak Cases in 10 Years

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi alleged that 152 paper leak incidents have been reported across the country over the past decade, claiming that not a single case has resulted in identifying or punishing those responsible. Addressing a press conference in support of students protesting over the alleged NEET examination irregularities, Rahul criticised the Central Government, stating that the country's education system has been severely compromised under the present administration. He also described Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's functioning as ineffective and called for his immediate resignation.

Rahul Gandhi further claimed that education has become increasingly inaccessible for poor and middle-class families, pointing out that NEET aspirants collectively spend nearly ₹1.32 lakh crore annually on coaching, almost equal to the Union education budget of ₹1.42 lakh crore. He demanded action against police personnel involved in the alleged lathi-charge on protesting students and urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to apologise to students for the handling of the protests.
