PM Modi, Education minister must be held accountable for 'cover up': Congress on NTA claims on NEET exam

The Congress on Friday said it was shocked over claims made by top NTA officials that the NEET exam paper was "not leaked", and said both the 'Pradhan Mantri' and the 'Mantri Pradhan' must be held accountable for this "cover-up".

The Congress also said that the National Testing Agency (NTA) has become a "National Trauma Agency" and accused the government of colluding with the paper leak mafia to suppress the truth of irregularities and fraud.

In a post on X, Congress general secretary in-charge of communications Jairam Ramesh said a "guess paper" featuring questions that appeared in the actual exam was circulating among students much before the exam date.

"Since the NTA was formed in 2018, the Modi Government and its ecosystem have been colluding with the paper leak mafia to suppress the truth of rampant irregularities and fraud in NTA-conducted exams," he alleged in his post.
