Siddaramaiah joins Youth Congress' protest against NEET-UG paper leak

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has joined the ongoing Youth Congress protests against the NEET paper leak. The demonstration, staged at Freedom Park, aims to amplify the voices of over twenty-three lakh students affected by the controversy across the country. During the protest, the Youth Congress and the Chief Minister demanded the immediate resignation of the Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The political escalation highlights the growing pressure on the Union government to provide answers and ensure justice for the candidates who may have to retake the examination. The active participation of the state leadership at the protest site underscores the severity of the issue and signals a significant political confrontation between the state and central governments over the handling of the nationwide medical entrance examination.
