New Delhi: The Budget Session saw fiery exchanges on the very first day on Monday, as Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav slammed the Government over paper leaks in NEET examinations and also questioned the entire Indian examination system. This drew a strong response as well as a rebuttal from Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

Akhilesh Yadav claimed that lakhs of students are anxious and worried over their future because of paper leaks in competitive exams like NEET but the government was not paying heed to their concerns.

SP supremo, in a searing jibe, said, “There can’t be justice for the students till this government is in power.”

“I don’t want to do politics, but I have a list of how many paper leaks happened when Akhilesh Yadav was in charge (as UP CM),” he said.

Rahul Gandhi, Leader of Opposition (LoP) in Lok Sabha, described the whole examination system as ‘fraud and rubbish’, eliciting strong protest from the Minister.
