Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday sharply reacted to the NEET-UG paper leak case and attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not being able to solve the paper leak issue in the country. His remark was pointed to the BJP using the stopping of the Ukraine war for the recently concluded Lok Sabha polls.

"It was being said that Modi ji stopped the Russia-Ukraine war. But due to some reasons, Narendra Modi has not been able to stop or doesn't want to stop paper leaks in India," he said. Noting the hard work of the students in preparations for the exam, the Rae Bareli MP stressed that the saffron regiment was rather playing with their future.

"In Madhya Pradesh, Vyapam (scam) took place and now Narendra Modi is trying to spread this Vyapam throughout the country," he added.
