Arvind Kejriwal, former Delhi chief minister, invoked student-led movements in Bangladesh and Nepal while attacking the Centre over the cancellation of NEET-UG 2026, saying Indian youth could force accountability in cases of paper leaks.
Addressing a press conference, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief said recurring paper leaks had shaken the confidence of aspirants and questioned whether previous investigations by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had resulted in strict punishment for those responsible.
Kejriwal alleged that the CBI probe into the NEET paper leak “would achieve nothing” and claimed several paper leak incidents had occurred in BJP-ruled states since 2014.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) on Tuesday cancelled the NEET-UG examination conducted on May 3 after reports that questions worth nearly 600 marks had allegedly leaked before the test.
Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi accused the BJP-led Centre of allowing “organised corruption” to flourish in the education system and said students’ dreams had been “crushed”.
