First NEET paper was leaked and now UGC-NET, Modi government has become a ‘paper leak government’.”
Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said “BJP government’s leak system and laxity is fatal for the youth. After the news of scam in NEET exam, now NET exam held on 18th June was also cancelled due to suspicion of irregularities. Will accountability be fixed now? Will the Education Minister take responsibility for this laxity?”
