After NEET, there is a mess in NET too... a big conspiracy against the country- Akhilesh Yadav

UGC NET Exam: After the cancellation of UGC-NET exam conducted by National Examination Agency (NTA) on behalf of the Ministry of Education, this matter is now gaining political momentum. Congress termed the Narendra Modi-led government at the center as 'paper leak government', while Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav intensified the attack on the government after this decision. Akhilesh demanded a strict investigation under the supervision of the court and the strictest punishment to the culprits.

After the cancellation of the exam, Akhilesh Yadav said in a post on social media X, "... and now after the news of irregularities, UGC- NET exam has also been cancelled. Under the rule of Bharatiya Janata Party, the paper mafia is rigging every exam one after the other. This can also be someone's big conspiracy against the country."

In a long post, Akhilesh further said, "This can also be a big conspiracy against the administration of our country and the human resources of the country, which will have far-reaching negative consequences. That is why a strict investigation of the matter should be conducted under the supervision of the court and the culprits should also be given severe punishment. No criminal should be spared, no matter how big he is or even if he has the support of the government.”

… और अब गड़बड़ी की ख़बर के बाद UGC- NET की परीक्षा भी रद्द कर दी गयी है। भाजपा के राज में पेपर माफ़िया एक के बाद एक, हर एग्ज़ाम में धांधली कर रहा है। ये देश के ख़िलाफ़ किसी की बड़ी साज़िश भी हो सकती है।

गहरी बात समझिए:

- पुलिस भर्ती की परीक्षा का पेपर लीक होगा तो…
