Kejriwal Criticizes BJP Over Allegations of Disrupting Student Discussions on Paper Leak
Kejriwal's Accusations Against BJP
Arvind Kejriwal, the national convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party, launched a strong critique against the BJP government following allegations made by his party leader. The claims suggest that the Uttar Pradesh police and government officials attempted to obstruct discussions with students regarding a paper leak incident in Prayagraj. Sharing a post by Sanjay Singh, Kejriwal accused the BJP of failing to address issues like paper leaks and actively working to suppress discussions surrounding them. He emphasized that the BJP does not have a problem with the paper leak itself, but rather with the conversations about it.
Details of the Allegations
These allegations emerged after Sanjay Singh's statements on Monday, where he asserted that officials in Prayagraj tried to prevent students from discussing the paper leak issue. He described the situation as a peak of dictatorship, stating that even in closed rooms, discussions affecting the futures of millions of students were being stifled. Singh criticized the Modi-Yogi government for its failures and its attempts to suppress the opposition.
Singh's Video Statement
In a video shared on social media, Singh questioned the legality of discussing a paper leak that impacts millions of students. He pointed out that they were merely holding discussions in a conference room and not speaking against the country. He highlighted that the paper leaks also affected the officials' own children and questioned whether it was illegal to talk about such matters in a democracy.
Context of the Controversy
This incident comes amid ongoing controversies surrounding the NEET-UG 2026 exam, which has been rescheduled to June 21 due to allegations of paper leaks and administrative failures. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is actively investigating the matter and has made several arrests, while student groups across the country have intensified their protests.
