Analysed 20 Jul 2026·4 sources analysed·Ranchi, India·Politics
Congress Alleges BJP Government's Role in Recurring Exam Paper Leaks; BJP Denies ClaimsPreviousNext

Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and regional party representatives, have accused the BJP-led central government of failing to prevent over 152 examination paper leaks since 2014, affecting approximately 7.5 crore students nationwide. They allege these leaks have undermined the credibility of the examination system and called for the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The BJP denies these claims, asserting prompt action was taken and accusing Congress of politicizing the issue. The Congress-led 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' campaign seeks reforms and accountability.
