Lucknow: Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav on Saturday alleged rigging in the graduate-level medical entrance examination NEET. He urged the court to take suo motu cognizance of the issue, conduct a thorough investigation, and impose strict punishment on those found guilty. The results of the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) were declared on June 4.

"Hundreds of candidates have scored 100% marks in the results of NEET (formerly known as CPMT/PMT), which is conducted as an entrance exam for medical studies across the country. In these too, many people scoring 100% marks simultaneously from the same exam centre indicates a big scam," Yadav said in a post on 'X' in Hindi.

पूरे देश में डॉक्टरी की पढ़ाई के लिए प्रवेश परीक्षा के रूप में ली जानेवाली नीट (NEET) परीक्षा (पूर्व में CPMT/PMT के नाम से प्रचलित) के रिज़ल्ट में सैकड़ों अभ्यर्थियों के 100% नंबर आए हैं। इनमें भी एक ही परीक्षा केंद्र से कई लोगों के एक साथ 100% नंबर आना, एक बड़ी धांधली की ओर…

Akhilesh Yadav alleged that "in the BJP rule, exams are turning into a business of illegally leaking question papers, getting fake people to take the papers, setting up the centre and managing the results".

Yadav, who has consistently criticized the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over irregularities in recruitment exams during his rallies for the Lok Sabha elections, said, "It cannot be a coincidence that almost similar scams have taken place in most of the exams. Due to this, the youth of the country have started losing faith in the system. The frustration of the youth means that the future is hopeless.''

''This is one of the biggest failures of the BJP government. Taking suo motu cognizance of this case, the Hon'ble (Supreme) Court should conduct a thorough investigation, give strict punishment to the guilty and eliminate any possibility of such a recurrence in the future. Condemnable," he said in his post.
