NEET paper leak has shattered dreams of lakhs of students, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann blames center
NEW DELHI; Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Wednesday slammed the BJP-led Centre over the NEET paper leak, calling it a betrayal of lakhs of students whose dreams were crushed by repeated failures in the examination system. Targeting the BJP on multiple fronts, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann also asserted that after Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh refused to enter politics at the BJP’s behest, a campaign of intimidation had been unleashed against him.
Positioning governance and welfare as AAP’s central electoral pitch ahead of the Punjab polls, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann asserted that the party would seek a renewed mandate on the plank of “Rangla Punjab”, highlighting free electricity, cashless healthcare and development-oriented governance as proof of delivery.
During a media interaction, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann stated that the NEET paper leak incident had shattered the dreams of lakhs of aspirants and exposed the Centre’s failure to ensure a fair examination system. “Students had worked tirelessly and burnt midnight oil in the hope of cracking the examination, but the paper leak had dealt a severe blow to their aspirations,” he added.
The Chief Minister stated, “The aspirants are in deep shock because the Union government has failed to prevent this fraud with their careers. Lakhs of hopes have been ruined due to this paper leak. The Centre should have ensured free and fair conduct of the examination, which could have transformed the destiny of millions of students.”
*Politics of intimidation started after Diljit Singh refused to enter politics*
Responding to another question, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said it was unfortunate that after ace singer Diljit Dosanjh declined to enter politics, the BJP had resorted to intimidation tactics against him. “After actor Vijay’s success in Tamil Nadu’s political landscape, the BJP had realised that artists enjoy greater public acceptance and had therefore attempted to bring Diljit Dosanjh into politics,” he added.
