On May 12, 2026, Rahul Gandhi (Leader of the Opposition in India's Lok Sabha) launched a strong critique of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government following the cancellation of the NEET (UG) 2026 examination. He claimed that the cancellation has devastated the aspirations of over 2.2 million students, whose hard work and sacrifices have been undermined by what he termed a 'corrupt BJP regime'. Gandhi highlighted the financial struggles faced by families, with some taking loans and others selling jewelry to support their children's education. He criticized the ongoing issues of paper leaks and government negligence, stating that this incident represents not just a failure but a crime against the youth's future. He argued that if success is determined by wealth and connections rather than hard work, the value of education is diminished. Gandhi concluded by asserting that Modi's promised 'amrit kaal' has instead devolved into a 'vish kaal', reflecting a dire situation for the nation.
