The Congress on Wednesday questioned the Union government for changing the eligibility norms and lowering the cut-off for postgraduate (PG) admissions under the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET).
The party slammed the Eknath Shinde-led government in Maharashtra and alleged that the deaths in the government hospital in Nanded were due to lack of basic medicines and sharply criticised the Lok Sabha member from the Shinde faction, Hemant Patil, who forced the medical superintendent to wash and clean hospital toilets.
Addressing a press conference, Congress spokesperson Ajoy Kumar alleged that the cut-off in the NEET-PG exam was brought to zero to facilitate the admission of the daughter of a very “powerful person”. He, however, refused to name the person, stating it is already in the public domain.
