Set KPSC in order before protesting over NEET, BJP tells Karnataka Congress
The Karnataka BJP has criticized the state's Congress government for participating in NEET protests while failing to address local recruitment and safety issues. The party accused the opposition of using the exam controversy for political gain.
Why it matters
This reflects the intense political polarization between national parties regarding the management of public examinations and state-level governance.
The Opposition BJP in Karnataka has questioned the moral right of the Congress to take part in a protest against the NEET question paper leak in Delhi, while the government here has failed to fix responsibility for the death of 11 youth in the stampede near M. Chinnaswamy Stadium and for the lathi-charge on unemployed youth in North Karnataka who were protesting the delay in recruitment for government jobs.
In separate media interactions, BJP State president B.Y. Vijayendra and Leader of the Opposition R. Ashok launched a counter-attack at the Congress for attacking the Prime Minister over issues related to the youth of the country and maintained that the Congress government in Karnataka should first set the Karnataka Public Service Commission (KPSC) in order.
Mr. Vijayendra alleged that the Opposition parties in the country were using the NEET examination issue as a pretext “to create unrest and anarchy”.
