Bihar MP Pappu Yadav Takes Oath As Lok Sabha MP Wearing T-Shirt With 'ReNeet' Slogan: Watch

Pappu Yadav took an oath as Member of Parliament, wearing a t-shirt with "#Re-NEET" inscribed on it.

Lok Sabha Session: As the political row over the alleged irregularities in the NEET exam rages on, Bihar MP Pappu Yadav took an oath as Member of Parliament, wearing a t-shirt with "#Re-NEET" inscribed on it. He concluded his speech saying "Re-Neet, Special status to Bihar, Samvidhaan Zindabad".

The Bihar MP began his oath by saying "Bihar zindabad" and concluded it with slogans demanding NEET-UG re-examination and special category status for Bihar.

When members from the treasury benches objected to his slogans, the MP from Bihar's Purnia hit out at them, saying he was a six-time MP and needed no lessons on what to say.

"You win due to blessings, I contest alone … I have won four times as an Independent, you don't tell me," Ranjan said from the podium. Just before adjourning the House, Pro-tem Speaker Bhartruhari Mahtab said members were still in "election fever". Despite repeated observations by the chair, members have been speaking on the microphone beyond oath or affirmation, he said.

Ranjan later told reporters that members were invoking the gods, indulging in sycophancy taking their leaders' names but no one talked about the youngsters. "There was no discussion on NEET, on special status for Bihar. That is why I said re-NEET and special status," he said.

The National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test Undergraduate (NEET-UG) for MBBS/BDS and other medical courses has been mired in a controversy over alleged irregularities in its conduct. The National Testing Agency (NTA) is facing heat following reports of NEET paper leaks and irregularities in the way the exam was conducted. With all eyes on the paper leak angle, students across the nation are demanding a re-examination.
