"Only option is..."
Citing these reports, Rahul Gandhi slammed the Narendra Modi government and asked the students to bring about “education revolution” in India.
“Even after the repeated scams in NEET and NET, the Modi government continues to turn a blind eye and sleep soundly, because the years of hard work put in by lakhs of students—burning the midnight oil—holds no value for them.
“The entire country knows that expecting any accountability or action from the Prime Minister and the Education Minister is futile—no investigation will happen, nor will students get justice.
“The only tool for change is our collective voice—the resounding echo of students across the country, which will bring about an education revolution in India”, Rahul Gandhi wrote.
Meanwhile, the National Testing Agency (NTA) has so far not responded to these reports even as some news outlets are reporting that the Ministry of Education has ordered an investigation into the matter.
