New Delhi. Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee President Devendra Yadav addressed an important meeting of OBC, Legal and Ex-Servicemen departments of DPCC in connection with the ‘Students’ Echo Campaign’. Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi will address this campaign in Delhi on August 9, 2026.

Yadav said that poor families face huge difficulties to provide good education to their children and make their future bright, but due to paper leaks in NEET and other big competitive exams and irregularities in the education sector, children of poor families are unable to bear the depression and commit suicide. Due to this, the entire family is forced to live a life of depression and sadness. A serious situation has arisen in the country because the BJP government has not dismissed the Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, during whose tenure the education system of the country has become completely corrupt and bad.

Devendra Yadav urged Congress leaders and workers to unite as many students as possible for the ‘Students’ Echo’ campaign, so that they can put forward their problems before Rahul Gandhi. Its objective is to secure the future of students who struggle to pass competitive examinations by eliminating paper leaks and other malpractices from the country’s education system, and also to hold the Union Education Minister accountable for the corruption and deteriorating conditions in the education sector.

Danish Abrar said that ever since BJP came to power at the Centre, the future of lakhs of students has been ruined due to paper leaks and other irregularities in major competitive examinations, while the Modi government is turning a blind eye to the plight of the students. He said that the recent NEET paper leak was the 90th incident of NEET paper leak in the last 12 years after the Modi government came to power.

Anil Bhardwaj said that Modi government is hiding the irregularities taking place in competitive exams like NEET and instead of punishing the culprits who leak the papers, it is protecting the corrupt people. He said Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, who is directly responsible for playing with the future of lakhs of students, rigging examinations, paper leaks and corruption, continues to hold his post despite demands from students for his resignation.

He said that corruption in examinations, fair investigation of paper leak cases, transparency and accountability in the functioning of the National Testing Agency (NTA), and uniting the youth on issues to the education system – these are the special demands of the Congress which the party will raise through the ‘Students’ Echo’ campaign in Delhi.

Those present at the meeting, addressed by Devendra Yadav at DPCC office, Rajiv Bhawan, included AICC Delhi co-in-charge Danish Abrar, General Secretary (Organization) Anil Bhardwaj, Abdul Hannan, Ali Mehndi, Rajeev Verma, Advocate Sunil Kumar, Shivang Singhal, Surendra Pehalwan, Sumit Sharma, Rahul Dhaka, Pushpa Singh, Sanjay Neeraj, Abdul Wahid Qureshi, Dr. Sudhanshu, Jitendra Kumar Jeetu, Jai Prakash and Akshay Kumar was included.
