AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal criticised the Centre’s reported decision to use the Air Force for transporting NEET papers, calling it a “nautanki”. He alleged the government lacks intent to stop paper leaks and said India needs systemic reforms and better leadership

New Delhi: AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday slammed the central government over the alleged NEET paper leak, saying the country’s education system has fallen into the “clutches of the mafia”.

Reacting to reports that NEET papers would be transported to exam centres by the Indian Air Force, Kejriwal said that Centre has no intention of getting to the bottom of the paper leaks, and was instead making such bizarre moves (nautanki).

“Air Force will be used to prevent paper leaks in NEET. Will this stop paper leaks? How is our government talking like uneducated people? World over so many exams are conducted, have we ever heard any such bizarre thing ” Kejriwal said in a post on X in Hindi. “They don’t even have the intention to stop paper leaks. The country’s education system has completely fallen into the clutches of the mafia,” the former Delhi chief minister said.

To fix this, everyone will have to come together and do something, Kejriwal said in a video message. “It won’t happen with just one person doing something alone.” The country needs an educated prime minister, he said.
