New Delhi, Jun 4: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi after an alleged suicide by a NEET aspirant came to light, saying an entire generation of youth is paying the price for the extent to which the PM has \u201cruined\u201d the education system over the past 12 years.<\/p>\n
Gandhi\u2019s attack on the Modi government came after media reports said Akanksha Chaturvedi, a NEET aspirant from Madhya Pradesh\u2019s Mauganj district, allegedly died by suicide in Nagpur after reportedly falling into depression following reports of irregularities in the NEET-UG examination.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cAkanksha aspired to become a doctor and serve her country and society. Akanksha\u2019s father is a farmer. To support his daughter\u2019s dream of becoming a doctor, he took out a loan of Rs 3 lakh against his Kisan Credit Card. He even took up a job as a cook in Nagpur himself, so that his daughter could attend coaching classes there \u201d Gandhi said in his post in Hindi on X<\/p>\n
\u201cA father did everything humanly possible. Then, the NEET paper leaked. The examination was cancelled. Amidst that uncertainty, Akanksha left us forever,\u201d the Leader of Opposition said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Akanksha\u2019s death was not a suicide \u2013 it is the tragic outcome of a corrupt and broken system under Prime Minister Modi, Gandhi alleged.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd Mr. Dharmendra Pradhan? He remains firmly seated in his position even today. The same old committees. The same old transfers. The same old inquiries. No reform; no justice,\u201d Gandhi said.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Modi, power is not permanent \u2013 it comes and goes. But the an entire generation of India\u2019s youth is now paying the price for the extent to which you have ruined the education system over the past 12 years,\u201d the Congress leader said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The NEET (UG) 2026 exam held on May 3 by the National Testing Agency (NTA) was cancelled on May 12 amid allegations of paper leak which is now being probed by the CBI.<\/p>\n
