The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has escalated the controversy surrounding NEET aspirant Ayushi Patel by demanding legal action against Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. This demand comes in response to Priyanka Gandhi sharing a video in which Patel made unsubstantiated claims about irregularities in the NEET exam.
Ayushi Patel had alleged during her petition in the Allahabad High Court that her OMR sheet was torn and she received lower marks due to malpractices in the exam. However, the court found that Patel had submitted forged documents and dismissed her plea, citing the lack of credibility in her claims.
The BJP has condemned Priyanka Gandhi's actions, labelling her sharing of Patel's video as "misleading and malicious." They assert that Priyanka Gandhi's actions were aimed at undermining the credibility of the NEET exam process and creating unnecessary controversy. The BJP further demanded an apology from Priyanka Gandhi and called for legal action against her for spreading misinformation.
In contrast, the Congress party has not yet responded to the BJP's demands or stated the controversy. The situation remains tense amidst ongoing disputes over alleged irregularities in the NEET exam, which have sparked widespread debate and calls for reforms in the examination system.
As the political fallout continues, stakeholders in the education sector and beyond closely monitor developments to see how the matter unfolds. The controversy underscores the sensitivity of issues related to examination integrity and the implications of political interventions in such matters.
The demand for action against Priyanka Gandhi reflects the BJP's stance on maintaining the sanctity of examination processes and holding accountable those who allegedly exploit such situations for political gain.
