Rahul Gandhi’s attack on the Center
New Delhi [भारत]July 18 (ANI): Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Saturday launched a fresh attack on the Center over the alleged exam paper leak. He blamed the BJP-led government for the paper leak “mafia” roaming around “unafraid”. He also targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi on this issue.
In a post on Twitter, the Congress MP wrote, “Public auction of future. Paper leaked rate card: * NEET – ₹40 Lakh * IIT-JEE – ₹15 Lakh * Uttarakhand Patwari – ₹15 Lakh * Bihar Teacher Recruitment – ₹10 Lakh * Odisha Police Recruitment – ₹25 Lakh The one who has money, chooses the paper from the menu. And the one who only works hard loses his dream…”
The post further read, “152 papers leaked, 7.5 crore students affected, and punishment? Not even a single one. This is the real strength of this mafia – sell children’s future, earn money, and move around without fear. Modi ji, every student of the country is asking you – under whose protection is this gang so fearless?”
Sonam Wangchuk admitted to hospital
