New Delhi: After the cancellation of UGC-NET, the Congress on Wednesday labeled the Modi government as the "paper leak government" and questioned whether the education minister would take responsibility. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge criticised the government for the alleged irregularities in the NEET medical entrance exam, asking when Prime Minister Narendra Modi would hold a "NEET Pareeksha Pe Charcha."


Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also condemned the government after the Education Ministry ordered the cancellation of UGC-NET, demanding accountability be established, as reported by PTI.


In a post in Hindi on X, Kharge said, "Narendra Modi ji, you discuss exams a lot, but when will you hold 'NEET pareeksha pe charcha'. Cancellation of UGC-NET exam is a victory of the passion of lakhs of students," he said "This is the defeat of Modi government's arrogance due to which they made a despicable attempt to trample the future of our youth," he added.






Kharge said that the Union Education Minister initially claimed that no paper was leaked in NEET. However, after arrests of the education mafia were made in Bihar, Gujarat, and Haryana, the minister "accepted that some scam" had occurred.






"When will NEET exam be cancelled?" he asked.


"Modi ji, take responsibility to stop your government's rigging and paper leak in NEET exam too," Kharge said.


The Congress alleged that the Modi government is playing with the future of the youth.


"Yesterday UGC-NET exam was conducted in various cities of the country. Today the exam was cancelled on suspicion of paper leak. First NEET paper was leaked and now UGC-NET paper. The Modi government has become a 'paper leak government'," the party said on X.


Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi also alleged that the BJP government's "corruption and laxity" is harmful for the youth.


"After the news of scam in NEET exam, now the NET exam held on 18th June has also been cancelled due to the fear of irregularities. Will accountability be fixed now? Will the Education Minister take responsibility for this laxity?" Vadra asked in a post in Hindi.


The Union Education Ministry late on Wednesday night ordered cancellation of UGC-NET following inputs of exam's integrity being compromised.
