Amid a relentless series of paper leaks and examination controversies across the country, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal voiced deep concern over the future of India’s youth, questioning how the nation is being governed when authorities are unable to conduct even a single examination fairly.
Referring to repeated irregularities in NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test), CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education) Class 12, SSC (Staff Selection Commission) GD, and now reports of glitches in B.Tech examinations, Arvind Kejriwal said the country’s entire education system appears to have fallen into the grip of mafias, while the futures of lakhs of students are being compromised. He asserted that young people will have to raise their voice and act if they wish to secure their future and protect the integrity of education in the country.
Taking to X,AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal stated: “After the NEET and the CBSE Class 12 examination controversy, reports of irregularities are now emerging from several places in the SSC GD examination as well. Complaints are coming in from many centres about server failures, while at several examination centres more students were called than the actual capacity allowed. What kind of government is this that cannot even conduct a single examination properly?”
The AAP Chief pointed out, “The country’s entire education system has been completely taken over by mafias. The future of crores of children and young people is being traded away. The education mafia could not flourish in this manner without protection from the top. Two people sitting at the top are enabling all this. If the youth want to secure their future, they will have to take action themselves.”
Meanwhile, Delhi’s former Education Minister and AAP Punjab Prabhari Manish Sisodia shared a video on social media and said that not a single day has passed in the last 10 days without reports of a paper leak, outrage over examination irregularities, or chaos surrounding an exam. “The NEET paper was leaked. Then the CBSE examination evaluation scam came to light. There was uproar over the UPSC examination. Recently, board examinations were held in Uttar Pradesh, where controversy erupted over VIP roll numbers,” he added.
The AAP Punjab Prabhari noted, “Today, SSC students who had gone to appear for their examination continued protesting on the streets throughout the day because they were deceived. What exactly is happening in this country?”
Manish Sisodia further said, “If the Prime Minister devoted even one percent of the attention he gives to winning elections towards conducting examinations properly in the country, examinations would begin to be held fairly and the future of the youth would improve. But he is not concerned about this at all. The Prime Minister may mislead the entire country, but he cannot mislead the youth of this country. This is the youth of a new era, and they know how to teach lessons.”
Manish Sisodia said to the Prime Minister that neither is the Education Minister being asked to resign, nor are examinations being conducted honestly. “The youth of the country are asking that when you are unable to even manage the system, why do you not step down from the chair?” Manish Sisodia stated.
