New Delhi: Congress leaders on Tuesday launched a sharp attack on the Central government after the NEET-UG 2026 examination was cancelled following allegations of a paper leak. The party demanded accountability from and the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, calling the paper leak incident a reflection of a "corrupt system".
Speaking to IANS, Congress MP Manickam Tagore alleged that repeated paper leaks had become a common occurrence under the NDA government and accused the Centre of failing to protect the future of students.
"NEET paper leak is becoming an ordinary thing now. Lakhs and lakhs of students spend hours and days preparing for the exam. Their fathers and mothers borrow money and send them to coaching centres. After all that, papers are leaked," he said.
The Congress MP claimed that during the last 12 years, the government had made a "mockery" of the examination system and accused the Centre of supporting a compromised education structure.
