The Story in Brief
Congress leaders accused the BJP on Tuesday of politicising the student protests in Jharkhand over recruitment exam irregularities. Citing figures, they claimed 152 paper leaks have occurred across India since 2015 under BJP rule, but the CBI investigated only 17 cases and secured no convictions. Examples cited include NEET-UG 2024 and SSC-CGL 2017.
The Congress defended the Jharkhand government's handling of the protests, asserting no force was used against students. Party leader Tirkey credited Rahul Gandhi's 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' campaign for raising awareness. The allegations came as the BJP backs the protesting students, and the ruling coalition defends its response.
The Indian Opinion
Both parties are using student anger for political ends. The BJP highlights exam chaos to attack the government, while Congress points to the same chaos under BJP rule. But the real issue, rampant paper leaks and a toothless CBI, gets lost. Neither side offers a systemic fix. The key test: will the CBI secure even one conviction from the 152 cases it largely ignored?
