Karnataka Minister Calls NEET-UG 2024 a 'Massive Scam', Demands CBI Probe

Karnataka Medical Education and Skill Development Minister Sharan Prakash Patil has labeled the NEET-UG 2024 exam a 'massive scam.' He urges the Central Government to initiate a CBI probe into the alleged irregularities, accusing the Modi administration of mishandling the exam and failing millions of students.

Karnataka Medical Education and Skill Development Minister Sharan Prakash Patil on Friday described the NEET-UG 2024 exam as a 'massive scam' perpetrated by the Modi government. He has demanded that the Centre initiate a CBI probe.

According to Patil, irregularities in the NEET exam continue to surface, and the Centre's failure to manage the situation is causing widespread concern.

In an official statement, Patil highlighted that people across the country suspect the involvement of numerous individuals in this scam. He criticized the central government for its reluctance to order an investigation, suggesting this inaction raises public doubts.

Patil revealed that all state governments are calling for a CBI probe, adding that the Modi administration might be protecting those responsible. 'The Centre is jeopardizing the future of 24 lakh students nationwide,' he stated.

Despite the state government's efforts to seek legal alternatives, Patil cited a Supreme Court order that restricts them from rejecting NEET outright. He noted Tamil Nadu's stance on the issue and urged for a legal battle. According to Patil, the Supreme Court has advised the Centre to acknowledge any mishandling of the exam.

'It's disheartening that the Centre is not treating this matter with the seriousness it deserves, while protests from students and parents continue. Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's irresponsible behavior exacerbates the situation. A CBI probe is essential, and the guilty must be punished,' Patil concluded.
