The Rajasthan Congress on Monday announced a protest march and siege of the BJP state headquarters in Jaipur on May 21 over the alleged NEET-2026 paper leak, demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and the dissolution of the National Testing Agency (NTA).
Protest Details
The protest will be led by Rajasthan Pradesh Congress Committee (RPCC) chief Govind Singh Dotasra. Party workers are set to assemble at the Pradesh Congress headquarters at 10 am before marching via Shaheed Smarak to the BJP state office for a demonstration and siege at 11 am.
Allegations Against NTA and BJP
RPCC general secretary and media chairperson Swarnim Chaturvedi stated that the NEET-2026 paper leak jeopardized the future of lakhs of students. He accused the Centre and the NTA of failing to prevent repeated examination leaks. Chaturvedi alleged that BJP functionaries were linked to the latest leak and claimed that investigations also found connections to the NEET-2025 paper leak, while similar irregularities surfaced in NEET-2024.
The Congress party has called for immediate action, including the resignation of the Union education minister and the dissolution of the NTA, to restore trust in the examination system.
