DYFI Protests Against NEET Irregularities in Kerala

The Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI), affiliated with CPI(M), led a protest in Kerala against alleged irregularities in the NEET exam. Protestors demanded a probe and the resignation of the Union Education Minister, accusing the central government and National Testing Agency (NTA) of corruption and incompetence.

The Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI), the youth wing of Kerala's ruling CPI(M), on Tuesday staged a protest march to the Accountant General's (AG) office in protest against irregularities in the NEET entrance exam.

Carrying placards declaring 'NEET is not very neat' and 'stop playing with students' lives', the protestors gathered at the AG's office, where DYFI leaders held the Narendra Modi government accountable for the recent issues surrounding the medical entrance test conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA).

They also called for the resignation of the Union Education Minister and a thorough investigation into the alleged irregularities.

Despite barricades set up by the police, DYFI state president V Vaseef addressed the crowd, asserting that the NEET exam irregularities constituted a betrayal of hardworking students. He accused the exam organizers of large-scale corruption, demanding a central investigation.

Vaseef warned of continued protests nationwide until the central government responds appropriately. Last week, the Kerala assembly unanimously passed a resolution condemning these irregularities, with both ruling and opposition parties agreeing that recent incidents have seriously undermined the National Testing Agency's (NTA) credibility and capability.
