In a dramatic display of dissent, the youth wing of the Samajwadi Party organized a protest concerning supposed irregularities in the NEET-UG medical entrance exam on Tuesday. The demonstrators, demanding both the cancellation of the exam and the resignation of the education minister, started their march from the party headquarters.

As they made their way down Vikramaditya Marg, the protestors were met with barricades set up by the police. Despite this obstacle, the agitated crowd climbed over the barriers, shouting slogans. Police responded by using 'lathis' to disperse the crowd, eventually taking the protestors into custody and clearing the site.

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav has been vocal about the alleged irregularities not only in the NEET-UG exam but also in the state's police recruitment tests under the BJP administration. The party continues to call for accountability and transparency in the examination processes.
