CPI MP P Sandosh Kumar on Tuesday launched a scathing attack on the Narendra Modi-led central government and the National Testing Agency (NTA) following the cancellation of the NEET UG 2026 examination over alleged paper leak and large-scale irregularities.
Accusing the Modi government and the NTA of pushing lakhs of students into uncertainty and distress, Kumar said, “The repeated paper leaks, exam scams and cancellations have completely exposed the collapse of the examination system under this regime.”
The CPI MP alleged that the students who prepared with immense hardship and hope are being made victims of “corruption, incompetence and a deeply discriminatory system.”
He further stated that the Modi Government has repeatedly “trampled upon the aspirations of students” while promoting a centralised structure that allegedly benefits coaching centres and the privileged at the cost of poor, rural and marginalised students.
“NEET has failed both socially and institutionally,” he declared.
Demanding urgent corrective measures, he said that both NEET and the NTA must be scrapped.
“The examination system should be decentralised in a democratic and transparent manner that respects social justice and the rights of states. A Supreme Court monitored probe must be instituted and all those guilty of playing with the future of lakhs of students must be given exemplary punishment,” Kumar added.
