Modi govt handed over education system to mafia, says Priyanka Gandhi

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Sunday attacked the Narendra Modi government over the alleged irregularities in national competitive exams, including the NEET-UG, alleging that it has handed over the entire education system to the “mafia” and the “corrupt”.

Her reaction came a day after the Union Education Ministry set up a panel to



review the functioning of the National Testing Agency (NTA) — the body responsible for conducting the tests — and recommend exam reforms.

The Centre on Saturday also shunted out the agency’s Director General Subodh Singh and handed over the probe into the irregularities in medical entrance exam NEET-UG to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
