Protests Over NEET Paper Leak Spark Political Controversy and Clashes in Delhi and Goa
Protests led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) over alleged NEET exam paper leaks sparked clashes in Delhi, with thousands demanding Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation. Maharashtra BJP MLC Sadabhau Khot labeled the protesters as "terrorists" and defended the government’s response, drawing criticism from opposition leaders. In Goa, BJP vice-president Narendra Sawaikar referred to protesters as "cockroaches with termites," prompting backlash from Congress and Goa Forward Party members who condemned the language and defended the youth protesters. The government maintains investigations are ongoing and denies ministerial culpability.
