A fresh political battle has erupted over the NEET paper leak controversy after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi mocked Prime Minister Narendra Modi following a submission in the Supreme Court. The BJP has responded sharply, accusing the Congress leader of distorting the court's remarks as the CBI investigation into the leak continues.
Rahul Gandhi's Remarks
Taking a dig at PM Modi, Rahul Gandhi said that the Supreme Court's observations on the NEET paper leak exposed the government's failure to protect the interests of students. He alleged that the Prime Minister was more focused on photo opportunities than addressing the crisis.
BJP's Sharp Response
The BJP hit back, accusing Rahul Gandhi of twisting the court's remarks for political gain. Party spokesperson Sambit Patra said that the Congress leader was trying to divert attention from the CBI's ongoing probe, which has already led to several arrests. Patra added that the Modi government has taken strict action against those involved in the leak.
Background of the Controversy
The NEET paper leak controversy erupted earlier this year when it was discovered that question papers had been leaked in several states. The Supreme Court has been monitoring the CBI investigation and has sought a status report. The matter has become a major political flashpoint, with both ruling and opposition parties trading barbs.
Political Fallout
The war of words between the Congress and BJP over the NEET leak is expected to intensify as the investigation progresses. Opposition parties have demanded a thorough inquiry, while the government maintains that it is committed to ensuring a fair probe.
